Columbia: Former US leaders George HW Bush and George W Bush on Wednesday issued a tough joint statement condemning racial bigotry and anti-Semitism, in a veiled rebuke of President Donald Trump.
Trump sparked a political firestorm on Tuesday when he said counter-protesters appeared to be equally to blame for violence over the weekend at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"We know these truths to be everlasting because we have seen the decency and greatness of our country."
The joint statement did not mention Trump by name.
A woman was killed and 19 other people injured in Charlottesville on Saturday when a suspected white supremacist drove his car into a group of counter-protesters.
Trump, in his remarks on Tuesday, appeared to put the white nationalists and counter-demonstrators on equal moral ground.
"I think there is blame on both sides," Trump said. "You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent."
His remarks have drawn widespread criticism including from members of his Republican Party.
