James Murdoch, the CEO of 21st Century Fox, slammed Trump’s equivocating response to the Charlottesville violence in a letter to staff on Thursday.

‘Charlottesville and the reaction to it by the President of the United States concern[s] all of us as Americans and free people,’ he wrote, in part, according to a copy of the email obtained by The New York Times.
‘I can’t even believe I have to write this: standing up to Nazis is essential; there are no good Nazis. Or Klansmen, or terrorists.’
