“Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans,” Trump said.

“Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America,” Trump said.

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence,” he said. “It has no place in America.”
