Mother of Charlottesville Victim Heather Heyer Says Shes Received Death Threats

[spanone]

A day after burying her daughter, the mother of a woman killed during Saturday’s white nationalist rally in Charlottesville scoffed at President Donald Trump’s claim that violence on “both sides” led to her daughter’s death.

Susan Bro said Thursday that any fights between marching racists and counter-protesters were “irrelevant” because her daughter, Heather Heyer, was simply peacefully protesting when she was brutally mowed down.

"Whether there was violence on both sides or not is irrelevant," Bro told MSNBC's Katy Tur. "The guy mowed my daughter down and, sorry, that’s not excusable."

Heyer was killed Saturday when a man police have said is 20-year-old James Alex Fields, Jr. drove his car into a crowd of protesters following a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. She was 32.
