Charlottesville, Virginia was host to many white nationalists and others who protested the removal of a Robert E. Lee statute under the banner "Unite the Right."

Though all citizens of the United States reserve the right to freedom of speech including "hate speech" as of Matal v. Tam, we must call a spade a spade, or acts of domestic terrorism. Perhaps sparking bipartisanship, politicians such as Senator Ted Cruz have urged the Department of Justice to immediately investigate and prosecute this car crash as such. Sign now!
