President Trump on Saturday strongly condemned the turbulence in Charlottesville, Va., where white nationalists
clashed violently with counterprotesters, leaving one person dead and more than 30 injured.
“We’re closely following the terrible events
unfolding in Charlottesville, Va. We condemn in the strongest possible
terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence — on many
sides, on many sides,” Trump said from his golf resort in Bedminster,
N.J.
Trump suggested that the clashes were especially
unfortunate given his administration’s successful record. He touted his
efforts to renegotiate trade deals and the unemployment rate.
“Our country is doing very well in so many ways. We
have a record — just an absolute record — employment. We have
unemployment, the lowest it’s been in almost 17 years,” he said,
speaking at an event meant to mark signing legislation addressing
veterans’ issues.
He continued: “We have companies just pouring into
our country: Foxconn and car companies and so many others. They’re
coming back to our country. We’re renegotiating trade deals to make them
great for our country and great for the American worker. We have so
many incredible things happening in our country. So when I watch
Charlottesville, to me, it’s very, very sad.”
Trump was speaking just moments after Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer said a person had died when a car
plowed into a crowd of counterprotesters.
Shocking video of the incident showed the gray vehicle speeding into
the group at high speed before reversing itself. The driver was later
arrested with charges pending, police said. City officials said
19 people were injured from the crash, in addition to 15 other injuries related to the rally.
“I am heartbroken that a life has been lost here. I urge all people of goodwill — go home,” Signer said.
