President Donald Trump took a swing at his favourite punching bag on Thursday, claiming his comments about the deadly violence in Charlottesville were misrepresented by media.
“The public is learning (even more so) how dishonest the Fake News is. They totally misrepresent what I say about hate, bigotry etc. Shame!,” the US President wrote on Twitter.
One protester was killed in violent clashes between neo- Nazi and so-called “Alt-Right” demonstrators and counter- protesters in the Virginia college town of Charlottesville on Saturday.
“Publicity seeking lindsey Graham falsely stated that I said there is moral equivalency between the KKK, neo-Nazis & white supremacists... And people like Heyer,” Trump said on Twitter. “Such a disgusting lie,” Trump said.
