WASHINGTON -Kansas Senator Jerry Moran issued a statement Tuesday condemning the racism on display during the violence in Virginia.

“As I said this weekend, white supremacy, bigotry and racism have absolutely no place in our society, and no one – especially the President of the United States – should ever tolerate it. We must all come together as a country and denounce this hatred to the fullest extent.”

Kansas Senior Senator Pat Roberts issued a statement earlier.

The hatred & ignorance displayed by the violent & pathetic group in #charlottsville is unacceptable. Their values are not American values.

Over the weekend, Moran wrote on social media, “What happened in #Charlottesville is a sobering reminder of the hateful element that exists in America. Bigotry and racism have no place in our society.”
