President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a congressional joint resolution condemning last month’s violence in Charlottesville, Va., and white supremacy in general.
The resolution denounces a litany of hate groups and honors Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old counter-protester who was killed during a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville.
The White House said Wednesday that Trump would “absolutely” sign the resolution after Congress passed it earlier this week. The House approved the measure by unanimous consent on Tuesday, a day after the Senate easily passed it.
Trump condemned “all forms” of bigotry in a statement after signing the resolution.
