Here are the Republicans denouncing Trump by name
Republicans are mixed in their response after President Donald Trump's unpredictable Tuesday news conference, during which he defended white supremacists and blamed "both sides" for violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
But some Republicans spoke out against Trump, using his name directly to emphasize that they don't agree with what he said in Trump Tower.
During his news conference, Trump blamed "both sides" in the protests and equated the white supremacists on one side with the counter-protesters on the other side.
Some Republicans, to avoid more conflict, denounced racism after Trump's news conference -- and some indirectly referred to his statements when they called him out.

Will this be enough to create a schism in the GOP?

Luciferous

But if enough either agree with the Chancellor, or lack the courage to speak against him, could their party split into American Republicans and Nazi Republicans

than put on their big boy panties and face up to Trump.
