Trump faced withering criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike in the days following the Charlottesville protests. “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 Monday. “President Trump, I do not know your heart, but what I do know for sure is that you’ve clearly done the math,” Williams said. Despite his proclamation Monday that “racism is evil,” Trump built both his presidential campaign and his real estate business on racism ― a pattern that did not go unnoticed by Williams. While she acknowledged that Trump might not “personally” be racist, she accused him of being “all too happy to reap the benefits” of racists’ support.
