The Aug. 13 protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, began as a rally organized by white supremacists and turned deadly when a counter-protester was run down by a car. Trump, in the aftermath, denounced neo-Nazis and the KKK, but his argument that “both sides” in the violent protests were to blame has brought widespread criticism. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said after the Cohn interview was published that nobody “was surprised” by his comments. The White House on Friday announced that Gorka was no longer a White House aide. "It shows (Gorka’s) lack of understanding of the president's broader policy when it comes to protecting Americans at home and abroad from all acts of terrorism," Tillerson said.
