Gov. Terry McAuliffe to white supremacists and neo-Nazis: “Go home! You’re not wanted in this great Commonwealth. Shame on you. You pretend that you’re patriots, but you’re anything but a patriot…You came here today to hurt people, and you DID hurt people…My message is clear, we are stronger than you…You will not succeed. There is no place for you here, there is no place for you in America…I remind you all that we are a nation of immigrants…So please, go home and never come back; take your hatred and take your bigotry…I spoke to the president this afternoon…and I told the president that there’s got to be a movement in this country to bring people together…Stop the hate speech, stop the rhetoric in this country, we have got to bring people together.”
