Dr Wes Bellamy ripped into the US leader after violence broke out at the rally in Virginia, scolding him for apparently failing to “call out” white supremacists.

The politician spoke to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme after the woman was killed on Saturday when a car rammed into a crowd protesting against the rally.

When asked if he had been assisted by the President, he replied: “No, I haven’t heard from 45, probably don’t expect to hear from 45.

“But I’m hoping that he comes out and he does a much better job of addressing this issue and calling out and denouncing these white supremacist acts.”
