The Hill: Frustrated Republicans lashed out at President Trump for saying “there is blame on both sides” after violent protests staged by white nationalists over the weekend in Charlottesville, Va.
Trump had been facing criticism for failing to immediately condemn racist protesters, including neo-Nazi groups and the KKK by name, a step he took at a Monday press conference.
