During a panel discussion on CNN's The Lead today, host Jake Tapper remarked that this was disastrous for this administration and wanted to know what they planned on doing to fix it.
Suspect and white supremacist James Alex Fields was denied bond at his first court hearing this week.
Hours before Tapper's broadcast, it was announced that White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was ousted. "The first call seems to have arrived during the funeral" by Heather Heyer, his daughter, who was involved on Saturday in a counter-protest and anti-racist in the face of white supremacist.
Inquired as to whether there was something she needed to state to the President, Bro stated, "Think before you talk". Bro said "three more frantic messages from press secretaries" followed throughout the day Wednesday, but she said she did not immediately respond because she was home recovering from the service.
Anchor Katy Tur, stunned when Bro said she was receiving threats, asked why they were coming.
The 20-foot- by 40-foot digital wall now bears the name and image of Heather Heyer, 32, and features a quote from Heyer's mother at her funeral: "They tried to kill my child to shut her up".
Heyer, 32, was killed Saturday when a auto plowed into a crowd of counterprotesters gathered to oppose a "Unite the Right" rally of white nationalist and other right-wing groups.
After thanking Trump on Monday for offering "words of comfort and for denouncing those who promote violence and hatred", Bro said something changed on Wednesday after she laid her child to rest.
Fields, a 20-year-old OH resident, has been charged with second-degree murder. And nobody wants to say that, but I'll say it right now...you had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very, very violent...
"I hadn't really watched the news until last night, and I'm not talking to the president now".
"I have not and now I will not" speak with Trump, Susan Bro told ABC News.
As Steve Bannon said in his surprisingly blunt interview with the American Prospect magazine on Thursday, drawing liberals into a contentious debate about "race and identity" allows Mr Trump and his supporters to become champions of economic nationalism. "Think before you speak". "She knew she was loved all the way through her life and that means a lot to me", Bro added. In November, after a San Antonio police officer was shot and killed, Trump - then the president-elect - called his relatives the following day. Still, she said, her daughter's passing left "a hole that's not going to be filled by anybody else".
