After Mr Trump made a statement in the White House on Monday, moderating his initial remarks and condemning the white supremacists, Mrs Bro thanked him for his words.

But his speech on Tuesday, in which he referenced "very fine people" on both sides, horrified her.

On Friday morning she told Good Morning America that she would not take his call – and that he called in the middle of her daughter’s funeral, on Wednesday.

“I hadn’t really watched the news until last night, and I’m not talking to the president now,” she said.

“I’m sorry. After what he said about my child – and it’s not that I saw somebody else’s tweets about him – I saw an actual clip of him at a press conference equating the protesters like Ms Heyer with the KKK and the white supremacists.”

The relatives of Heyer had called for speeches at her funeral to be apolitical. Mrs Bro delivered a powerful eulogy, calling for her daughter’s death not to be in vain, and urging the hundreds-strong crowd to fight for what they believed in.
