'Political Rewind' replay: Donald Trump and the aftermath of Charlottesville
Today's edition of GPB's "Political Rewind" focuses on President Donald Trump's decision to walk back his condemnation of a rally of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va.
But first was the sound from the memorial service for Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old woman killed when a white nationalist rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters. From the Associated Press:
Heyer's death on Saturday — and President Donald Trump's insistence that "both sides" bear responsibility for the violence — continued to reverberate across the country, triggering fury among many Americans and soul-searching about the state of race relations in the U.S. The uproar has accelerated efforts in many cities to remove symbols of the Confederacy.
