What’s the difference between Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey and Donald Trump? Bob Casey condemned White Nationalists and their role in Saturday’s terrorist attack in Charlottesville that resulted in the death of 32 year old Heather Heyer, and called out Donald Trump’s feckless leadership in doing so. Heather Heyer and 18 other counter-demonstrators were struck by a Vanguard America member as the protesters were marching through Charlottesville.
Since everything in politics revolves around Twitter these days thanks to the Cheeto demagogue occupying the White House, Senator Casey began with:
Those marching to promote “white nationalism” are promoting a blatantly racist ideology.

Our nation must stand together and condemn this racism and those who promote it.
— Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) August 12, 2017
Today our nation mourns for Heather Heyer, who was murdered in yesterday’s domestic terror attack in Charlottesville, and her family.

I’m also praying for the law enforcement officers who lost their lives as well, Pilot Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates.
— Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) August 13, 2017
The terrorist who committed yesterday’s violent act must be held fully accountable.
— Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) August 13, 2017
All of us have an obligation to clearly state that hateful, racist, white nationalist groups were responsible for yesterday’s terrorism.
— Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) August 13, 2017
Our nation should never tolerate their racism or their violent acts.
— Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) August 13, 2017
And Senator Casey began calling out Donald Trump:
I was hopeful that by now @realDonaldTrump would heed bipartisan calls and fully amend his weak response to yesterday’s domestic terror.
— Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) August 13, 2017
Mr. President, it’s not “many sides,” just one. It’s time you show some backbone.
— Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) August 13, 2017
Call out these white nationalists by name and hold them accountable.
— Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) August 13, 2017
And for good measure, Senator Casey reminds Trump about the bi-partisan outcry over Saturday’s events.
Mr. President – we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism. https://t.co/PaPNiPPAoW

Don’t you agree with this Mr. President? https://t.co/N9mBdcgyvu
