Schakowsky Statement on White Supremacist Violence in Charlottesville

"The hatred, bigotry, and violence displayed by white supremacists in Charlottesville today is shocking and unacceptable.

"In difficult times, our country needs a leader who brings us together. Passing blame and failing to denounce white supremacy outright is abhorrent -- especially coming from a President who uses social media to criticize, badmouth, and insult anything that doesn't please him.

"As we wait for more details to come regarding the peaceful protesters attacked by a vehicle, my thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. I am praying for peace."
