Senator Cory Gardner, a Republican from Colorado, called out President Donald Trump over his statement about the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Trump condemned violence "on many sides" after a car plowed into a crowd of anti-racism protesters on Saturday, killing one and injuring dozens. "Mr. President - we must call evil by its name," Gardner tweeted. "These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism."
