McConnell: "there are no good neo-Nazis"

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a statement this morning condemning white nationalist groups after news of a planned far-right rally in his home state of Kentucky, saying that their ideologies "should not be welcome anywhere in America."

Trump's muted criticism of the far-right's violence in Charlottesville and his declaration that there were "very fine people on both sides" seemed to influence McConnell's statement as he declared "there are no good neo-Nazis."

More context: Just before the statement was issued, CNN reported that McConnell was "upset" with Trump.

McConnell's full statement:

"The white supremacist, KKK, and neo-Nazi groups who brought hatred and violence to Charlottesville are now planning a rally in Lexington. Their messages of hate and bigotry are not welcome in Kentucky and should not be welcome anywhere in America.
We can have no tolerance for an ideology of racial hatred. There are no good neo-Nazis, and those who espouse their views are not supporters of American ideals and freedoms. We all have a responsibility to stand against hate and violence, wherever it raises its evil head."
