The President’s tweets were a direct response to comments made by Graham on Wednesday, when he accused the President of suggesting there was a “moral equivalency” between white supremacists and Heather Heyer, the woman killed when a man intentionally drove his car into a crowd of protesters.
“Through his statements yesterday, President Trump took a step backward by again suggesting there is moral equivalency between the white supremacist neo-Nazis and KKK members who attended the Charlottesville rally and people like Ms. Heyer,” said the Senator. “I, along with many others, do not endorse this moral equivalency.”
