Hillary Clinton Condemns the 'White Supremacists in Our Streets'

Hillary Clinton is letting her voice be heard amid the violence and hate in Charlottesville and she’s using her platform to condemn the white supremacists involved in the rallies there.

“My heart is in Charlottesville today, and with everyone made to feel unsafe in their country. But the incitement of hatred that got us here is as real and condemnable as the white supremacists in our streets,” the former Democratic presidential nominee tweeted on Saturday afternoon (August 12).

“Every minute we allow this to persist through tacit encouragement or inaction is a disgrace, & corrosive to our values,” she added. “Now is the time for leaders to be strong in their words & deliberate in their actions. We will not step backward. If this is not who we are as Americans, let’s prove it.”

President Trump has been criticized for not calling out the racism happening in America right now.
