FULLERTON, CA— Today 65^th District Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva released the following statement regarding President Donald Trump’s continued statements that seem to support anti-American groups like the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis:

“It seems every day that President Donald Trump drags the political discourse in this country (and with it the esteem of the presidency) to a new low. Please, Mr. Trump, find the good grace to cease giving aid and comfort to hateful, repugnant racist people through your words and apologize to the American people for your actions surrounding the people and events that took place in Charlottesville.

“We need our president to help heal the moral wounds of our country, not one that actively rips its stitches out. Please start showing that you understand that message.”
