Michael Moore and other celebrities like Rob Reiner and Rosie O’Donnell were quick to blame President Donald Trump for the violence that broke out Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“Trump’s America: The last days of White rule. It’s always a bitch to have to give up power you’ve held for 300 years,” the 63-year-old filmmaker tweeted after riots broke out in the city during a white nationalist rally between white supremacists and counter protesters.

“Let’s be clear. The hatred we’re seeing in Virginia lies at the feet of Donald Trump. Stoked during the campaign, his silence condones this,” Rob Reiner tweeted.

Remember even if POTUS does finally speak out against the events in #Charlottesville he doesn’t actually give a shit. Actions, not words.

Every Congressperson who fails to denounce the supremacists in #Charlottesville & who does not condemn Trump’s silence, is complicit in hate

Folks: by his silence, the president of the United States is supporting the #Nazis in #Charlotesville. He has to denounce them. Or be them.
