    Rep. Brad Wenstrup condemns white supremacists

    These are statements from Rep. Brad Wenstrup’s Facebook Page:

    August 13 at 10:45pmThe terror in Charlottesville was, with out a doubt, carried out by white supremacists. I stand with Ohio’s Second District, and the country, in condemning them in every way.

    The notion of one race or religion being superior to another is both appalling and disgusting.

    We fought it over 70 years ago, and we must win this war again.

    I have always taken to heart the tolerance of Ralph W. Emerson, when he said, “In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from him.”

    We must live our lives with open minds and open hearts.

    August 13 at 7:29am‪The hate and bigotry displayed in Charlottesville has no place in our country. We must all come together as Americans and condemn this violence.‬

    CLEVELAND, OH – U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) condemned violence today in Charlottesville, VA.

    “The bigotry and violence we’ve seen in Virginia have no place in America. I am grateful to those who put themselves in harm’s way today to peacefully protest against racism and hate,” Brown said. “As we learn more, my thoughts are with all those injured and their families. I am grateful to Virginia law enforcement and first responders. Ohio stands behind Virginia as the state copes with this senseless violence. We must not tolerate racism, threats, intimidation or violence.”
