Charlottesville mayor on Trump: 'Look at the campaign he ran'
Washington (CNN)Charlottesville Democratic mayor Michael Signer said Sunday
that President Donald Trump had emboldened organized racists who caused the
racially charged violence in his city over the weekend.
"Look at the campaign he ran," Signer said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Signer called on everyone to join together to recognize and combat racism,
adding that the effort should include Trump.
White supremacist demonstrators clashed with counterprotesters in the
Virginia city on Saturday, with the violence culminating with a man ramming
a car through a group of counterprotesters. Authorities said the attack
injured 19 and killed one.
In a statement responding to the deadly attack, Trump blamed "many sides."
Signer accused Trump of running a campaign that attracted racist groups and
said he had personally opted not to push back forcefully against them.
"Look at the intentional courting both, on the one hand, of all these white
supremacists, white nationalist groups like that, anti-Semitic groups,"
Signer said. "And then look on the other hand, the repeated failure to step
up, condemn, denounce, silence, you know, put to bed all those different
efforts."
However, Signer said the country would move ahead, and the problems went
beyond what he saw in Trump.
"To be honest, this is not about Donald Trump," Signer said, adding that the
violence from white supremacists demonstrated that the country's core
democratic principles were eroding, but people had an opportunity to change
for the better.
"People will react to the darkness with a whole lot more light," he said.
Signer called the racist demonstrators, marching with tiki torches in hand,
a "visible display of intimidation" and said he expected an aggressive case
to be made against the man behind the deadly attack.
"I hope that if the facts are there, that we vigorously prosecute this as a
case of domestic terrorism," Signer said. "This cannot be tolerated."
White House reaction
On the same program, White House Homeland Security adviser Tom Bossert
defended Trump's remarks, saying the President's statement did not
equivocate the white supremacists with the counterprotesters.
Bossert blamed "both sides" for Saturday's violence, while also saying the
White House was "absolutely" against white supremacists.
"I'm sure there were good people in the groups that had various opinions on
the removal or maintenance of the statue," Bossert said. "But what they
found when they showed up were groups from outside that showed up on both
sides, looking for trouble, dressed in riot gear, prepared for violence."
Bossert added that both he and Trump wanted the attacker to face "swift
justice" and noted the Department of Justice was pursuing a civil rights
investigation.
"This individual should face swift justice," Bossert said. "The President of
the United States shares that view. I know he does."
"These groups showed up spewing hate," he said. "These groups showed up
looking for violence."
Asked what groups he was referring to, Bossert replied, "I refer to the
groups that clashed yesterday."
Pressed again on the President's position towards the white supremacists,
Bossert offered a condemnation of hate groups.
"I condemn white supremacists and racists and white Nazi groups and all the
other groups that espouse this kind of hatred," he said. | b*******t
