Rep. Kelly Statement on Events in Charlottesville

August 17, 2017

 * * * The following statement was originally posted by Rep. Kelly on Twitter on Saturday, August 12th, shortly after the fatal attack in Charlottesville, Virginia. * * *

The bigotry and violence on display in Charlottesville was a disgrace and insult to every American value. I pray for all the victims of the terrifying attacks that took place. I strongly condemn the perpetrators and their cause. Americans of goodwill from every background can and must unite to stamp out the senseless, despicable scourge of white supremacy forever. May all patriotic citizens join together in eradicating such vile hatred from our society.
