CHERRY HILL, NJ - Today, Congressman Donald Norcross (NJ-01) issued the following statement condemning the violence and white supremacy in Charlottesville, VA:

"Hate, violence, bigotry, racism and anti-semitism have no place in our country.

"White supremacists caused this violence -- it isn't a situation that has 'many sides' -- and it must be loudly condemned as such. We must never accept violence and hatred in our communities. 

"My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. And in this time of divisiveness, I urge us all to remember the words of Martin Luther King Jr. when he said, 'Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.' As we respond with strong condemnation, let's also show that togetherness and love helps drive out the hate."
