USA Today:
All five living former presidents have now weighed in on the deadly incident in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday (Aug. 12) spurred by a “Unite the Right” rally organized by white nationalist, neo-Nazis, the KKK and other hate groups.

In a joint statement released on Wednesday (Aug. 16), former Republican presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush condemned the hateful rhetoric that resulted in a violent face-off between the white separatist groups and counter-protesters and leading to the death of Heather Heyer, 32, and injuries to more than three dozen others.

“America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism and hatred in all forms,” the father and son said in their statement according to USA Today. “As we pray for Charlottesville, we are reminded of the fundamental truths recorded by that city’s most prominent citizen in the Declaration of Independence: We are all created equal and endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights. We know these truths to be everlasting, because we have seen the decency and greatness of our country.”

AOL News:
U.S. President Donald Trump disbanded two high-profile business advisory councils on Wednesday after corporate CEOs quit in protest at his remarks blaming violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, not only on white nationalists but also on the protesters who opposed them.

A parade of prominent Republicans and U.S. ally Britain rebuked Trump after his Tuesday comments on Saturday’s bloodshed further enveloped his seven-month-old presidency in controversy and paralyzed his policy aims.

Trump announced the break-up of the advisory councils after 3M Co’s Inge Thulin became the latest of several chief executives to leave Trump’s American Manufacturing Council, and the president’s Strategic and Policy Forum broke up of its own will.

“Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy &Policy Forum, I am ending both,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Ohio Governor John Kasich, Senator Lindsey Graham, former U.S. presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush and others took aim at the remarks by Trump that worsened deep divisions within a Republican Party that controls both chambers of Congress and the White House.

A former senior Trump administration official raised the prospect that some White House officials could quit because of Trump’s comments.

“Trump’s Lawyer Implies His Client Is Racist”

It is one thing to distance yourself from racism. In this modern day political life, you’ve just gotta be clear on a few things. But, if you’re the personal attorney to the President of the United States, it’s probably a good idea to NOT imply that your client – the aforementioned President of the United States – is a racist. […] RedState writer

Mark Cohen (Trump’s attorney):
“As the son of a holocaust survivor, I have no tolerance for #racism. Just because I support @POTUS @realDonaldTrump doesn’t make me a racist.”

Um…okay really. You can’t make this stuff up. Dim-bulbs. The whole friggin lot.
