| James Alex Fields Jr |
In an interview Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio, with The Associated Press, Samantha Bloom said of her son James Alex Fields Jr., "I just knew he was going to a rally. I mean, I try to stay out of his political views. You know, we don't, you know, I don't really get too involved, I moved him out to his own apartment, so we -- I'm watching his cat."
Bloom was informed by The AP reporter that the rally was indeed organized by white nationalists. "I thought it had something to do with Trump. Trump's not a white supremacist," she said.
"He had an African-American friend so ...," she said before her voice trailed off.
In an interview with The Toledo Blade, she said, "I told him to be careful. [And] if they’re going to rally to make sure he’s doing it peacefully.”
I actually feel really bad for this woman as she clearly had no idea what her son was into and to be confronted by a reporter and learn that he son is a murderer on camera must have been devastating.
Apparently her son told her he was attending an Alt-Right protest, but she heard it as "Albright."
Speaking of Donald Trump as you may have seen yesterday he refused to condemn what Fields did as an act of terrorism, and instead suggested that "many sides" were to blame.
However former KKK Gran leader David Duke knew the score.“Many sides” didn’t do this. http://pic.twitter.com/4zJFyxzb1J— Jamil Smith (@JamilSmith) August 12, 2017
