The fallout from Trump's defense of "both sides"

And the speech that white nationalists are praising. No Images? Click here   By Lauren Weber     Wednesday, August 16 THE AFTERMATH OF TRUMP'S DEFENSE OF 'BOTH SIDES' "President Donald Trump spoke again Tuesday on the white supremacist conflict in Charlottesville, Virginia, defending his much-criticized initial statement on the protests and offering an even stronger critique of demonstrators and the causes they fought for during the violent weekend gathering."
