President Trump on Saturday afternoon issued a second tweet in which he fleetingly mentioned violent clashes between white nationalists and protesters in Charlottesville, Va.
“Am in Bedminster for meetings & press conference on V.A. [Department of Veterans Affairs] and all that we have done, and are doing, to make it better-but Charlottesville sad!” Trump said in a tweet.

Trump first condemned the clashes on Twitter less than an hour before the second tweet.
We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!
