christopher ray and attorney general jeff sessions. the department of justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack that killed one innocent american and wounded 20 others. to anyone who acted criminally in this weekend's racist violence, you will be held fully accountable. justice will be delivered. as i said, on saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence. it has no place in america. and a isave h sai cdolor ofy our skin, 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 must love each other. show affection for each other. and unite together in condemnation of hatred, bigotry, and violence. we must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as americans. racism is evil. and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs. including the kkk, neo-nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant s toy american es. we are a nation founded on the truth, that all of us -- are created equal. we are equal in the eyes of our creator. we are equal under the law. and we are equal under our constitution. those who spread violence in the name of bigotry, strike at the very core of america.
