Over the weekend, the world was gripped by the violent events occurring at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

In what appeared to be the largest white nationalist rally in a decade, a van plowed into a group of demonstrators, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring a further 19 people. Leading on from this, two state police troopers were killed when their helicopter crashed in the Charlottesville outskirts.

The protest, which came about to campaign against the planned removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and its ensuing violence were widely condemned in many corners of America, with Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe saying the demonstrators needed to “to leave America, because they are not Americans”.

In addition, the former president Barack Obama has tweeted about the events in Charlottesville last weekend, and it’s proven to be one of the most popular tweets ever.
