As counter-protesters have taken to the streets in Charlottesville, VA to stand up against the KKK and neo-Nazi alt-right racism and hate, violence has broken out against those who are standing against racism and bigotry. Meanwhile, Donald Trump golfs in New Jersey and stays silent.
Here was the scene in Charlottesville, VA on Friday night as white supremacists marched:

The Trump administration and the Republican Party have remained silent as the race based violence that they have enabled is boiling over in one of America’s most storied college towns.
This is Donald Trump’s America, and any blood shed today will be on Republican hands.
