The mother of Heather Heyer, the victim who was killed during the violence in Charlottesville, spoke out on Good Morning America Friday, saying, “I understand that President Trump wants to speak with me … it’s not that I’m trying to be calloused, it’s that I have no interest in speaking to politicians just to hear them say,’ I’m sorry,’ If I felt like that’s all they wanted to say, that would be different, but I feel like I’m wanted to be used for political agendas and I’m resistant to that.”

“I’m honestly a little embarrassed to say that part of the reason Heather got so much attention is because she’s white and she stood up for black people,” she continued. “Isn’t that a shame? That a white person standing up for a black person caused all this excitement? That should be an everyday thing, that should be a norm… I wasn’t there that day, but I will tell you that I’m pretty sure that’s the only person that ran people down with a car, so that level of violence didn’t take place on both sides, that did not happen.”
