Just got off the phone with Susan Bro, the mother of Heather Heyer, who was murdered in Charlottesville:
“This path has always been predictable,” she said. “And for people to now go, ‘I never knew this would happen,’ why not? How would you not see this happen?”

Susan Bro, Heather Heyer’s mom, told me tonight it’s time for real accountability.
“I’m all for talking across divides, but that’s with rational people, not with people who are seeking violence, not for people who are attempting to overthrow a democracy. I’m not having that.”

Susan Bro, Heather Heyer's mom:
“I see a great deal of difference in how black protesters and white protesters are treated.
I see a great deal of difference in how those who incite riots are treated based on what level of power they have.
This has been very predictable."

“I think we’re going to have to have some accountability of actions here, otherwise this will be attempted again and again,” Susan Bros said.
“I am saying there needs to be accountability, and it needs to be commensurate with what you would see handed to people of color.”

White women “are fully complicit in what happened today,” Bro said. “We as white women have to own that we caused this, and that we supported this all along, and we can’t back away now and say, ‘I had nothing to do with that.’"
Bro told me she’s been watching the news all day at home. “I’m mad as hell,” she said. “I’m mad at so many people. I’m particularly mad at the president.”
Trump's video remarks to supporters storming the Capitol was "basically the ‘very fine people’ speech all over again.”
