00:00The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the deadly car attack
00:07that killed one innocent American and wounded 20 others.
00:14To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend's racist violence, you will be held fully accountable.
00:22Justice will be delivered.
00:25As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display
00:33of hatred, bigotry, and violence.
00:36It has no place in America.
00:40And as I have said many times before, no matter the color of our skin, we all live under the
00:46same laws.
00:48We all salute the same great flag.
00:53And we are all made by the same Almighty God.
00:59We must love each other, show affection for each other, and unite together in condemnation
01:05of hatred, bigotry, and violence.
01:09We must rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.
01:17Custom is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including
01:23the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything
01:32we hold dear as Americans.
01:34We are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal.
01:41We are equal in the eyes of our Creator.
01:44We are equal under the law.
01:47And we are equal under our Constitution.
