Trump condemns violence in Virginia, saying 'racism is evil'

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump bowed on Monday to overwhelming pressure that he personally condemn white supremacists who incited bloody demonstrations in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend, labeling their racist views "evil" after two days of equivocal statements.

"Racism is evil," said Trump, delivering a statement from the White House at a hastily arranged appearance meant to halt the growing political threat posed by the situation. "And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."
