Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has weighed in on the weekend's violence
in Charlottesville, Virginia, castigating Donald Trump without naming
him.
'We can have no tolerance for an ideology of racial hatred. There are no good neo-nazis,' McConnell said in a statement.
The
choice of words, while careful, appeared to push back against Trump's
claim on Tuesday that some 'very fine people' were among a crowd of
white supremacists who rallied in the college town.
McConnell's
wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, stood next to Trump on
Tuesday as he insisted both sides of the weekend's clash bore some
responsibility for the violence that led to one death and nearly two
dozen injuries.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich tore into Trump earlier in the morning. [What an ass!]
