How the alt-right and Republicans reacted differently to Donald Trumps comments about Charlottesville
On 15 August, US President Donald Trump once again blamed both sides for the deadly violence at the Unite the Right march in Charlottesville. One person was killed after the far-right marchers clashed with anti-fascists in the Virginia town. Despite the presence of white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups in the marches, President Trump has continued to condemn both sides, much to the delight of the so-called alt-right and other right wing supporters, and the dismay of many of his Republican colleagues.
