Dale Earnhardt Jr., like so many, is appalled by what took place Saturday in Charlottesville, Va.
The “Unite the Right” white supremacist rally that left one woman dead and dozens injured has drawn strong reactions from all corners of the sporting world. When asked Monday on Twitter how he feels about both the violent rally, as well as President Donald Trump’s controversial reaction to it, Earnhardt offered this straightforward answer:
Although he had no issue condemning the actions of neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members and skinheads, Earnhardt didn’t say anything about Trump.
This isn’t the first time Earnhardt has spoken out strongly about a divisive racial issue. Back in 2015, the most popular driver in NASCAR said the Confederate flag was “offensive to an entire race” and that “it belongs in the history books, and that’s about it.”
