“E made America sad” Rome criticises President Trump

Former Republican candidate for president Mitt Romney on Friday criticised President Donald Trump for dealing with the violent protest of white primacy in the town of Charlottesville of Virginia, which left three people dead and 19 injured.

Mr. Romney's comments were in response to President Trump's comments Tuesday, that the “two sides were guilty of the violence involving the protest.

In a Facebook post, Mr. Romney called on President Trump to change his approach, or as he wrote, will face the possibility of further national unrest.

Whether he did it deliberately or not, what he said cheered the racist, caused minorities to cry and most of America to be saddened“, Mr. Romney said.

In his post on Facebook, he also warned that unless Mr. Trump changes “extreme correction actions”, there could be “a debauched American national structure”.

The former governor of Massachusetts said that Mr. Trump must admit that he was wrong when he equated actions against protesters with those of the white superiorists who organized the rally.

“There is no possible comparison, or moral equivalence among the Nazis, who brutally killed millions of Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans gave their lives to be defeated, with against protesters who were angry because they saw mindless people waving Nazi flags, wearing Nazi tape in their arms, or honouring them as Nazi”, he wrote.

Mr. Romney's comments are the latest indicator of a growing division between President Trump and his political strength, the Republican Party. / VOA
