President Donald Trump made a point to blame "both sides" for the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend that resulted in three deaths.

During a freewheeling press conference on Tuesday at Trump Tower in New York City, Trump said that there were "two sides to a story."

"What about the alt-left that came charging at the, as you say, the alt-right? Do they have any semblance of guilt?" Trump said. "What about the fact they came charging - that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do."
