Combative and insistent, US President Donald Trump declared anew on Tuesday that “there is blame on both sides” for the deadly violence last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, appearing to once again equate the actions of white supremacist groups and those protesting them.
He showed sympathy for the fringe groups' efforts to preserve Confederate monuments. The president's comments effectively wiped away the more conventional statement he delivered at the White House a day earlier when he branded members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), neo-Nazis, and white supremacists who take part in violence, as "criminals and thugs."
Trump’s advisers had hoped those remarks might quell a crush of criticism from Republicans, Democrats and business leaders.
