Donald Trump has lashed out against the CEO of a major pharmaceutical company who resigned from a federal advisory panel over the US President’s failure to unequivocally criticise white supremacists widely blamed for recent race clashes that claimed three lives. And which many among white supremacists and the Alt-Right said was a criticism of the counter-protestors. The White House clarified in a statement from an unidentified official that Trump “condemns all forms of violence, bigotry, and hatred. Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK neo-Nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together.”But Trump had himself not said so yet, publicly.
