Ahead of the rally, D.C. Mayor [[Muriel E. Bowser]] stated: "We the people of Washington, D.C. say unequivocally that we denounce hate, we denounce [[anti-Semitism]] and we denounce the rhetoric that we expect to hear this Sunday." The governors of the neighboring states—[[Ralph Northam]] of [[Virginia]] and [[Larry Hogan]] of [[Maryland]]—made similar statements. President [[Donald Trump]] declined to specifically condemn white supremacy. Instead, he made a general call for unity and stated that he "condemn[s] all types of racism and acts of violence." The remarks echoed Trump's remarks following the original rally a year earlier, in which he blamed "both sides" for violence. Vice President [[Mike Pence]] released a statement saying: "bigotry, racism and hatred run counter to our most cherished values and have no places in American society."{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/VP/status/1028365423270678529|title=Statement on Charlottesville|last=Pence|first=Mike|date=August 11, 2018|via=[[Twitter]]|access-date=August 12, 2018}} |
