The mother of slain Charlottesville protester Heather Heyer slammed President Trump in an interview with Good Morning America on Friday.
Speaking to Robin Roberts, Susan Bro said she had not spoken to the president yet and doesn’t plan to after watching his trainwreck Tuesday press conference.
When Trump spoke to members of the media on Tuesday, he bizarrely doubled down on his initial comments about the Charlottesville violence, saying that there were bad people on both sides – even though one side was made up of white supremacists.
Bro said she’l never forgive the president for equating her daughter and other counter-protesters with hate groups.
‘You can’t wash this one away by shaking my hand and saying I’m sorry. I’m not forgiving for that,’ Bro said.

Bro also revealed that the first time the president tried to call her was in the middle of her daughter’s memorial.
‘At first, i just missed his calls. The first call looked like it 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 didnt 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 hadnt really watched the news until last night, and I’m not talking to the president now,’ Bro said.
That’s when she finally saw the president’s Tuesday press conference.
‘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,’ Bro said.
