Angela Merkel speaks out against Nazis before Donald Trump does

... and that is very disgusting

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/charlottesville-virginia-angela-merkel-response-nazi-repulsive-far-right-violence-victim-killed-a7892431.html

The German chancellor has condemned far-right white supremacist violence that took place in the US state of Virginia over the weekend as “absolutely repulsive”.

Angela Merkel’s comments come after a weekend of clashes between racist protesters and counter-demonstrators in the city of Charlottesville – which left one woman dead and 19 injured.

Donald Trump came under fire from members of his own Republican party for failing to fully condemn the white supremacists, instead initially criticising violence “on many sides” in a tweet.
