Susan Collins tweeted this a few hours ago: "
The violence in Charlottesville was caused by racists & hate groups. We must unite against them." Not exactly a condemnation of the President's responses, but a bit better than the "all sides" approach.
Neither federal nor legislator, but the Republican governor here in Mass. had
this to say yesterday (before Pres. Trump doubled down on the "all sides" rhetoric today):
"
President Donald Trump should have quickly come out after a woman was killed in Charlottesville and condemned white supremacists, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said Monday. "I think he should've come out and said what everybody else was thinking and believing shortly after the incident that occurred in Charlottesville, which is: White supremacists have no business and no place in American political dialogue. Period. End of discussion. Case closed," Baker told reporters at a press conference on Boston City Hall Plaza...Asked if Trump is still fit to serve as president, Baker said, "Look, I made my decision clear about that one last fall." Baker blanked the presidential ballot in November 2016, after months of questioning Trump's temperament and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's trustworthiness."
