Statement by President Trump
Today,
I am pleased to sign S.J. Res. 49. As Americans, we condemn the recent
violence in Charlottesville and oppose hatred, bigotry, and racism in
all forms. No matter the color of our skin
or our ethnic heritage, we all live under the same laws, we all salute
the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We
are a Nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. As
one people, let us move forward to rediscover
the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.
