HeadlineAug 16, 2017

Also on Tuesday, President Trump retweeted a cartoon showing a train running over a human figure with CNN’s logo over its face with the caption, “Nothing can stop the #TrumpTrain!!” Trump deleted the tweet several minutes after posting it. Trump’s tweet drew immediate comparisons to the killing of 32-year-old activist Heather Heyer, who was struck by a car Saturday driven by neo-Nazi James Fields Jr. Mourners are gathering in Charlottesville today for Heather Heyer’s funeral.
