Rebuttal
The Mayor for the area tweeted “another despicable visit by neo-Nazi cowards.” He continued “you’re not welcome here! Go home! Meantime we’re looking at all our legal options. Stay tuned.”
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe also chimed in to the protest. He said “we continue to oppose these racists and their message of hate.”
Ralph Northam tweeted “tell him we’re sick of this here in Virginia.” Northam is the State’s Lieutenant Governor and Democratic candidate.
He challenged Ed Gillespie to make Spencer stop his foolery. Gillespie is a Trump-endorsed opponent running against Northam.
Those in position of authority were certainly disgusted with the event. The Government Officials’ main concern was racism.
That is the reason they are so against the rallies. The promise to continue protesting doesn’t help the situation.
Northam said “Donald Trump’s equivocation enabled this to happen again. And Ed Gillespie failed to call on the leader of his party to denounce neo-Nazis and white supremacists.”
He also said “there can be no ambiguity from any elected official. White supremacists are not welcome, and they will not win.”
It certainly seems that white supremacists will have a hard time in Charlottesville. The Officials there don’t have any intention to allow any hateful attitudes to persist in the City.
It doesn’t look like there will be any letting up soon. Spencer has promised to keep going and Officials have no sign of giving in.
