Mother of Charlottesville Victim Thanks Trump for Condemning Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists

The mother of the 32-year-old paralegal who was killed after being run over by an alleged white nationalist in Charlottesville, Va. on Saturday has thanked President Trump for denouncing neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

“Thank you, President Trump, for those words of comfort and for denouncing those who promote violence and hatred,” Heather Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, said in a statement on Monday, just after Trump condemned Saturday’s violence.

Heyer died after being struck by a vehicle driven by James A. Fields, a 20-year-old Nazi sympathizer from Maumee, Ohio.

Fields was seen on video plowing his 2010 Dodge Challenger into a crowd of people gathered to counter-protest a “Unite the Right” rally being held in downtown Charlottesville. (Read more from “Mother of Charlottesville Victim Thanks Trump for Condemning Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists” HERE)
