President Trump Isolated over Response to Charlottesville Violence
------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump grew increasingly isolated Wednesday for repeatedly
blaming "both sides" for last weekend's violence in Charlottesville, as
lawmakers, generals and prominent Republicans separated their positions
from Trump by condemning white nationalists and neo-Nazis. In a
statement, former Presidents George H.W. and George W. Bush said,
"America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in
all forms."
