Thousands of protesters rallied in front of the White House in Washington DC, Sunday, to condemn the acts of white nationalist violence and displays of racial hatred that were seen in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend.
White nationalist protests in Charlottesville culminated in the death of a person after a car rammed into a group of counter-protesters on Saturday. Clashes also erupted between counter-demonstrators and self-proclaimed neo-Nazi, Ku Klux Klan and white supremacist groups.
US President Donald Trump's statement condemning the violence was heavily criticised for not directly and specifically condemning white supremacist groups for the unrest. Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were among those to call on the president to be more specific in his condemnation. The White House issued a clarification saying Trump's criticism was meant to include neo-Nazi groups and the Ku Klux Klan.
