Donald Trump signed into law a Congressional resolution condemning white supremacists on Thursday, after lawmakers maneuvered the president into backing a text triggered by his equivocal response to racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Trump signed the resolution "rejecting White nationalists, White supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and other hate groups," which was unanimously passed by Congress earlier in the week.
The president`s job approval ratings sank to one of the lowest levels of his turbulent seven-month presidency, as he was savaged over his handling of the fallout from Charlottesville.
Trump earlier on Thursday had appeared to revive his much-criticized suggestion of an equivalence between counter-protestors and those who killed Heather Heyer.
"I think especially in light of the advent of Antifa, if you look at what`s going on there, you know, you have some pretty bad dudes on the other side also," Trump said in reference to anti-fascist groups.
"Now because of what`s happened since then, with Antifa, you look at, you know, really what`s happened since Charlottesville -- a lot of people are saying -- in fact a lot of people have actually written, `gee Trump might have a point.`"
"I said, you got some very bad people on the other side also, which is true.
