Trump had refused to single out the white supremacists who held the rally in Charlottesville, Va., in his condemnation of the violence there. A car struck a crowd of counter-protesters at the rally, leaving one dead.
Two others died during the protests after a helicopter crashed. Those victims were Virginia State Police Department officers who were in a helicopter surveilling clashes below.
The white supremacists had gathered in Charlottesville for a “Unite the Right” rally to protest the removal of a Confederate statue.
Biden condemned the attack earlier, saying that “racism and hate have no place here.”
