A thirty-two-year-old White woman, Heather Heyer, who was there to counterprotest White nationalists, was killed at the protest when James Alex Fields, a White supremacist, drove his car into the group of protesters who were standing up for justice. Trump refused to condemn these White supremacists and their action, and days following Heyer’s death, Trump called the White supremacists who invaded Charlottesville “some very fine people.”
