NEW YORK—President Donald Trump said there were two sides to the Aug. 12 violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, calling out both white supremacists and left-wing protesters.
“You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs, and it was vicious, it was horrible,” Trump said at a press conference in response to a reporter who asked whether Trump was “calling the alt-left and white supremacists on the same moral plane,” at a press conference that was intended to be about infrastructure, at Trump Tower in New York on Aug. 15.
