Mother Of Charlottesville Victim To Trump: 'Think Before You Speak'

Susan Bro, the mother of the woman who was killed in the violent neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville on Saturday, said she does not want to speak with President Donald Trump after hearing him equate protesters standing up to bigotry and hatred to neo-Nazis and white Supremacists.

Bro made the comments in an interview with Good Morning America on Friday. Bro's daughter, 32-year-old Heather Heyer, was killed when a car plowed into a crowd a protesters in Charlottesville Saturday. Two Virginia State troopers who had been monitoring the day's events in a helicopter were also killed when their aircraft crashed into a wooded area.

Police have charged 20-year-old James Alex Fields with second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of hit-and-run attended failure to stop with injury.

At a memorial service for Heyer on Thursday, Bro urged those in attendance to do as Heyer would have done and make a difference in the world.

Bro said in the interview with Good Morning America that she was weary of politicians trying to reach out to her because she was fearful that they are trying to further their own agendas and they might not be in line with her daughter's.

Asked if she had spoken with the president directly, Bro answered, "I have not and now I will not."

"At first I just missed his calls," Bro said. "The first call, it looked like actually came during the funeral, I didn't even see that message. There were three more frantic messages from press secretaries throughout the day and I didn't know why that would have been on Wednesday. And I was home recovering from the exhaustion of the funeral so I thought well I'll get to him later and then I had more meetings to establish her foundation so I hadn't really watched the news until last night."

She had initially thanked Trump on Monday for his statement where he denounced hatred and racism.

"And I'm not talking to the president now," Bro said. "I'm sorry, after what he said about my child and it's not that I saw somebody else's tweets about him, I saw an actual clip of him at a press conference equating the protesters like Ms. Heyer with the KKK and the white supremacists."

In the press conference held on Tuesday, Trump laid the blame on both sides for the Charlottesville violence, a statement that earned him criticism from Democrats, members of his own party and business leaders. Trump condemned the KKK and neo-Nazis but asked what about the protesters on the left.

"You can't wash this one away by shaking my hand and saying I'm sorry," Bro said.

Asked if there was anything she would want to say to the president, Bro said she would tell him to think before he speaks.
