Former Vice President Joe Biden took aim at President Trump’s comments that “many sides” led to violence at a white supremacist rally Saturday.

“There is only one side. #charlottesville,” Biden tweeted.

 

 

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.

{mosads}”We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides,” Trump said.

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.”
