Virginia Governor to White Nationalists: Go Home; You're Not Wanted Here

Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer, and Police Chief Al Thomas held a press conference about today’s violence in the city that resulted in three fatalities. At the presser, Gov. McAuliffe was blunt and straightforward, telling the white nationalists and the Nazis who came to Charlottesville to go home and never come back. McAuliffe, still commenting on the white nationalist rally, said everyone else’s message is clear: we’re stronger than you. Take your hatred and your bigotry with you because there is no place for it here.

In closing, McAuliffe said he spoke with President Trump, where he mentioned a need for a movement that brings people together. The governor commented on how the rhetoric has become so toxic and divisive, while calling for an end to the hate speech. We have to bring people together.
