So, is Donald Trump responsible for Charlottesville?

That’s the popular narrative on social media on Monday morning. Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer, a Democrat, said that Trump had fomented the movement that led to the violence and terror attack in Charlottesville: “Look at the campaign he ran. … Look at the intentional courting both, on the one hand, of all these white supremacists, white nationalist groups like that, anti-Semitic groups. And then look on the other hand, the repeated failure to step up, condemn, denounce, silence, you know, put to bed all those different efforts.”
