Bro lost her daughter, Heather Heyer, after James Alex Fields, Jr. allegedly drove his vehicle into a crowd of counter-protesters.
Bro said that she initially missed the president’s call during her daughter’s funeral, but that she made the final decision to not speak to the president following his comments:

In the Tuesday press conference where Trump reverted back to his initial comments, he revealed that he had not contacted Bro or any other member of Heyer’s family, despite her death occurring three days prior.
The events in Charlottesville also claimed the lives of two Virginia state troopers, who died in a related helicopter crash.
