A day after burying her daughter, the mother of a woman killed during Saturdays white nationalist rally in Charlottesville scoffed at President Donald Trumps claim that violence on both sides led to her daughters death.
Susan Bro said Thursday that any fights between marching racists and counter-protesters were irrelevant because her daughter, Heather Heyer, was simply peacefully protesting when she was brutally mowed down.
"Whether there was violence on both sides or not is irrelevant," Bro told MSNBC's Katy Tur. "The guy mowed my daughter down and, sorry, thats not excusable."
Heyer was killed Saturday when a man police have said is 20-year-old James Alex Fields, Jr. drove his car into a crowd of protesters following a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. She was 32.

One of theirs killed her daughter, who they then defamed and marginalized, and when the mother simply states the simple truth they feel the need to kill her too. Anyone who challenges them is seen as a traitor to their cause and that gives them the permission to kill, in their sick society. They feel that by virtue of their beliefs they have the right to kill women who aren't a useful tool of this psychosis. Their misogyny runs as deep as their racism.
This woman is an inspiration to me. Be strong. I hope they are stupid enough to put it in writing that can traced back to them.
