It\u2019s a learned disease, and the best antidote is unity. This weekend\u2019s events involving white supremacist groups are as disturbing and disgusting as they are heartbreaking. The attack was a stark reminder of the darkness of hate. We must come together, as we have before, to confront the issues that chip away at the very foundation of who we are and what we stand for as a country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable-p-2 p-text\">Unfortunately, the people of South Carolina know this type of domestic terrorism all too well.

Condemnation of racism. Swift justice for a terrorist. And unity for the community that grieves. It\u00a0starts with calling the attack in Charlottesville by its name.
