Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' Rally — Heather Heyer Killed

| Trump 45 & 47

White supremacists and neo-Nazis rally in Charlottesville, Virginia ostensibly to protest removal of a Confederate statue. Counter-protester Heather Heyer is killed when a neo-Nazi drives a car into a crowd. Trump's response — saying there were 'very fine people on both sides' — draws widespread condemnation. Corporate CEOs resign from White House advisory councils.
