Some local representatives responded to the President's divisive, combative press conference Aug. 15 where he said both Nazis and people protesting Nazis were responsible for the melee in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Tweeted, "Wow, what a disgrace. There is only one side. No one, especially not the leader of the free world, should ever tolerate violent racists." Sen. Chuck Schumer Tweeted, "By saying he is not taking sides, Donald Trump clearly is. When David Duke and white supremacists cheer, you’re doing it very very wrong." Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook) did not release any statement about the press conference. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, did, Tweeting, "There are no 'very fine' white supremacists, Mr. Trump."
