Justice Denouncing Violence
Gov. Jim Justice is denouncing violence by white supremacists and neo-Nazis in neighboring Virginia but indicates he has no immediate plans to act on requests to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson from the Capitol grounds in Charleston. At a Monday press conference, Justice calls what happened in Charlottesville “despicable,” and says he’s “sympathetic” to people who feel harmed by things that recall the past.
