As President Trump again refused to call hateful actions we saw today in Virginia as terrorism, it’s reassuring to know that not every public figure in this country is on the side of evil.
Hillary Clinton took to Twitter this afternoon and spoke for all of us with heavy hearts who are more determined than ever to eradicate this metastasizing cancer of neo-Nazi, alt-right intolerance which has been emboldened by Trump and some of his main advisers:
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.

Every minute we allow this to persist through tacit encouragement or inaction is a disgrace, & corrosive to our values.

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.

Thank you, Mrs. Clinton. Millions of us wish you were our president at this challenging time in our history.
