“We certainly cannot change what we fail to acknowledge. I am asking [President Trump] to address [racist Trump supporters] anger, address their misplaced fears,” Willis declared on Tuesday.

Prior to the thread, Benson tweeted a similar reminder to his followers:

Events at the white nationalist rally led to the deaths of three —  two Virginia state troopers in a helicopter crash and counter-protester Heather Heyer when James Alex Fields Jr. allegedly drove his vehicle into a crowd.
