Two former US Republican Presidents, George Bush Sr. and his son George W., have called on Americans to reject racism and anti-Semitism. It's been seen as a rebuke to Donald Trump for his comments about who was responsible for clashes in Charlottesville on Saturday. Mr. Trump sparked fury when he again blamed both anti-racist protestors and white supremacists. One demonstrator, Heather Heyer, was killed. At her memorial service, her mother said the killer had wanted to silence her daughter but ended up magnifying her. President Trump has announced he's dismantling two advisory panels made up mainly of senior business figures. Several resigned in the controversy over the US leader's reaction to events in Charlottesville.

两位美国前共和党总统，乔治·布什和他的儿子乔治·沃克·布什呼吁美国人民反对种族主义和反犹太主义。此举被认为是对唐纳德·特朗普对谁应为周六夏洛茨维尔冲突事件负责所作回应的指责。特朗普因同时指责反种族主义抗议者和白人至上主义者，而再次激起民愤。一名示威者希瑟·海耶被杀。她的母亲在她的追悼会上说，凶手本想让她沉默，结果反而为她的信仰壮大声威。特朗普总统宣布，他将解散主要由高级商业人士组成的两个咨询小组。特朗普对夏洛茨维尔事件的反应引发争论，导致其中一些人辞职。
