What happened this week:

1. Charlottesville, Va - White Supremacists turned out to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue, and it got ugly and people died. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/08/charlottesville-attack-170813081045115.html

2. The President didn’t say the right thing as usual. Not condemning the white supremacists involved in Charlottesville. They took to their websites and were pleased that he embraced them and not condemn them.
