TRUMP UNDER FIRE FOR VIRGINIA COMMENTS米白人至上主義をめぐる衝突

Donald Trump is once again under fire for blaming both sides for last weekend's violence in Virginia. One day after condemning white supremacists, Trump made an about-face, lashing out at a news conference.

(Donald Trump / U.S. President)
"You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent, and nobody wants to say that. But I'll say it right now. You had a group, you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit, and they were very, very violent."

White supremacists and far-right groups clashed with counter-protestors in Charlottesville on Saturday, leaving one woman dead and more than 30 people injured. Trump's initial response blamed violence on ''many sides'' while failing to denounce the white supremacy movement. Two days later, he singled out the Ku Klux Klan and other extremists.
