Trump retweets Alt-Right leader who praised white supremacist Richard Spencer

President Donald Trump has retweeted a statement written by one of the alt-rights leading figures, who has defended white supremacists.On Monday the president denounced violence at a rally in Charlottesville, Virigina, over the weekend. Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans, said Trump. Trumps statement followed concerns, including from many Republicans, that his earlier condemnation of violence on both sides Saturday didnt single out racist groups, particularly after James A. Fields Jr. was charged with second-degree murder. Fields Jr. reportedly rammed his car into counter-protesters at the rally, killing one and injuring 19 others.   Aug 16, 2017

What about the alt-left? Trump asks as he blames both sides for violence in Charlottesville

US President Donald Trump has maintained that both left- and right-wing groups were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, which left one anti-racist protester dead and 19 others injured. At a press conference at Trump Tower in New York City on Tuesday (15 August), Trump repeatedly criticised alt-left groups that he claimed were violent in their interactions with the white supremacist and Nazi groups that rallied to protest the removal of a Robert E Lee statue from a park. Trump also insisted that he was not wrong in failing to condemn Nazi and white supremacist groups following the events in Charlottesville, while blaming left-wing supporters for charging at the alt-right.

What is Antifa? Anti-fascism protesters and white power groups were battling long before Charlottesville

Groups such as Anti-Racist Action, Showing Up for Racial Justice and Black Lives Matter arrived in Charlottesville in force against the crowds of white neo-Nazis waving Confederate flags at the Unite the Right event.It is unclear who or how many people are organising the Antifa movement.The secretive U.S. effort has been traced to militant leftist movements in Germany, Italy and Spain before World War II. Since the rise of President Donald Trump, who has openly attracted neo-Nazi supporters, Antifa protesters have been linked to violent protests against the far-right. During Trumps inauguration, for example, police arrested more than 200 people after protesters dressed in black smashed local windows, set cars on fire and attacked law enforcement officials on the streets of Washington, D.C.
