Trump Condemns Hate Groups, Decries Racism As 'Evil'
Resume
Under pressure all weekend, President Trump on Monday named and condemned hate groups as "repugnant" and declared "racism is evil" in an updated, more forceful statement on the deadly, race-fueled clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia.
President Trump also tweeted this morning about Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, after Frazier resigned in protest from Trump's American Manufacturing Council.
Frazier said he stepped down because Trump failed to condemn white supremacists who organized the deadly rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, this weekend.
