Al Gore tells Trump to 'try again' on Charlottesville statement

Former Vice President Al Gore on Saturday offered sharp criticism of Donald Trump’s statement on the violence in Charlottsville, Virginia, calling on the president to “come back before the people” and “try again.”

“Our country is facing a dangerous time with the rise of some of these hate groups,” Gore said in response to a question from Mustafa Ali during his remarks at the annual Netroots Nation gathering of progressives. “When [the president] came out, he did not say anything about the fact that neo-Nazis and the KKK and the alt-right were out there trying to provoke hatefulness and divide people.”
