More Members of Trump Advisory Council Quit over Charlottesville Response
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, more members of President Trump's manufacturing advisory
councils stepped down Tuesday in protest of Trump's failure to fully
condemn neo-Nazis and white nationalists. The heads of the AFL-CIO and
Alliance for American Manufacturing joined the CEOs of Under Armour,
Intel and Merck, who resigned earlier this week. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart CEO
Doug Mc Millon criticized Trump's handling of the Charlottesville
violence, saying Trump "missed a critical opportunity to help bring our
country together."
