(Clemson, SC) -- James Clyburn says President Trump is "expressing what's in his heart" when talking about the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The Democratic congressman made the comment yesterday on ABC's This Week while offering his take on Trump's defense of the deadly rally two years ago that Trumped blamed on both sides.
Last week, Trump clarified his remarks saying he was referring to "fine people" on both sides of the argument over the removal of a confederate Robert E. Lee statue.
Trump called Lee a great general, but Clyburn said while Lee was "a great tactician," he was "not a great person." He called him a slave owner and a brutal slave master, and he questioned why Trump was glorifying a loser.
