EDITORIAL: Congress unanimously condemned hate; now Donald Trump must decide if he agrees
On Monday, Sept. 11, a day of solemn remembrance fueled by patriotism and American pride, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a joint resolution “rejecting White nationalists, White supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and other hate groups and urging the president and the president’s Cabinet to use all available resources to address the threats posed by those groups.”
On Tuesday, the U.S. House followed suit.
The message is clear from our much-divided politicians in Washington D.C.: that while America faces many threats abroad, the growing anger and hate coming from extremists organizations at home also threatens the fundamental principles of our nation’s independence that all men are created equal and entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Make no mistake about it, Congress says, when a suspected white supremacist drove his vehicle into a crowd of counter demonstrators, killing Heather Heyer and wounding others, it was a “domestic terrorist attack.”
