Susan Bro, the mother of Heather Heyer was killed by a car at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last weekend, says she won’t be speaking to Donald Trump.
Heyer’s mother was speaking with ABC’s “Good Morning America.
“I have not [spoken to Trump], and now I will not,” Bro said.
“You can’t wash this one away by shaking my hand and saying I’m sorry.”
Q: Have you talked to President Trump directly yet?

Heyer’s mother told ABC that the White House tried to reach out to her multiple times the day of her daughter’s funeral but she missed the calls.
However, after seeing video of Trump’s Tuesday press conference, during which he defended white supremacists and railed against counterprotesters, Bro said she doesn’t wish to speak to him.
“I hadn’t really watched the news until last night, and I’m not talking to the president now,” she said.
“I’m sorry. After what he said about my child, and, it’s not that I saw somebody else’s tweets about him, I saw an actual clip of him at a press conference equating the protesters like Ms. Heyer with the KKK and the white supremacists.”
