Updated 6.53pm with Trump statement.
President Donald Trump, under heavy political pressure from Democrats and Republicans alike, this afternoon condemned white supremacists who rallied in Virginia over the weekend, sparking violence that claimed one life.
"Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans," Trump said from the White House.
Mr Trump, who has been at his New Jersey golf club on a working holiday, made a one-day return to Washington to sign an executive action on China's trade practices.
A Virginia judge has denied bond for Ohio man James Alex Fields Jr, who is accused of ploughing his car into a crowd protesting against the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville.
Judge Robert Downer said during a bond hearing that he would appoint a lawyer for 20-year-old Fields.
Fields is charged with second-degree murder and other counts after authorities say he drove into the crowd, fatally injuring one woman and hurting 19 others. He has been in custody since Saturday.
Vice President Mike Pence, travelling in South America, condemned "these dangerous fringe groups" and said they "have no place in American public life and in the American debate".
But before this afternoon, Mr Trump said nothing, save for a few retweets. One was about two Virginia state policemen killed in a helicopter crash while monitoring the Charlottesville protests, another about a Justice Department probe into the violence.
In the hours after the car ploughed into a group of anti-racist counter-protesters, Mr Trump addressed the violence in broad strokes, saying that he condemns "in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides".
Mr Trump added: "It's been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump. Not Barack Obama. It's been going on for a long, long time."
A White House statement Sunday went further, saying: "The president said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred and of course that includes white Supremacists, KKK, neo-Nazi and all extremist groups."
It added: "He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together."
Mr Trump's national security adviser, HR McMaster, said he considered the attack to be terrorism.
