The people want change, and they want it NOW!
As we reported, on Monday, Donald Trump finally denounced the Charlottesville attack caused by “KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups,” two days after protestor Heather Heyer was struck and killed by a car.
While the President claims he condemns the “egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence” that “has no place in America,” many believe his response is too little, too late!

Late Monday, protestors flocked to Trump Tower to decry both the businessman and his response to this past weekend’s violence in Virginia.
The 71-year-old — who was on a working vacation at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey — is scheduled to travel to Washington, D.C. and then to New York City Monday night where he will be greeted by thousands of marchers.
At least three separate rallies were held outside the Midtown building, where demonstrators held signs that read “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” and “Not my president.”
To add insult to injury, art gallery owner John Post Lee commissioned the construction of an inflatable “Trump Rat” blocks away from Trump Tower.
