President Trump took to Twitter Saturday afternoon to condemn the ‘Unite the Right’ rally organized by white supremacists in Charlottesville.
The protests brought out the violent Antifa thugs who gassed and beat the protesters. This prompted Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe to declare a state of emergency.

President Trump tweeted:
“We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!”

Trump posted a follow-up tweet moments ago.
Am in Bedminster for meetings & press conference on V.A. & all that we have done, and are doing, to make it better-but Charlottesville sad!
