Samuel --

When Donald Trump finally brought himself to speak out on the terrible events
in Charlottesville this past weekend, he didn't condemn hatred or white supremacy
or people who marched wearing swastikas on their arms. He blamed "many sides."

And as he's continued to address the nation in the days that have followed, he's made
it clear that he accepts the support of the violent, white supremacist mob because
he thinks it will help him politically.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

One of my favorite poets, Maya Angelou, once said: "When someone shows you who they
are, believe them the first time." Donald Trump started his campaign with hate, and
we knew his presidency would be no different after he surrounded himself with men --
like Steve Bannon, Seb Gorka, and Stephen Miller -- who have given these vile groups
platforms to speak on.

He showed us who he was and what he stood for the first time.

So if Donald Trump can ever truly reject hate, he needs to start by removing the
enablers of white supremacy from his administration. Firing Steve Bannon --
as thousands of us called for -- is a start, but he needs to do more.

Words alone are not enough. Tell Donald Trump to take action against hate:
