Article snippet: MORE (D-Hawaii) is calling for all of President Trump's Jewish cabinet members to resign in protest over his response to violence in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend. In an interview on MSNBC Friday night, Schatz, who is Jewish, was asked if he thought Jewish cabinet members should resign in protest. ADVERTISEMENT Schatz comments were in part a response to Trump's impromptu, bombastic press briefing on Tuesday. During the briefing, Trump defended himself against bipartisan criticism that he was slow and equivocal in condemning neo-Nazis and white supremacists who incited violence during demonstrations in Charlottesville on Saturday. He also revived his claim from Saturday that it wasn't just white supremacists that were responsible for the violence, saying "alt-left" groups were "very, very violent" in opposing the right-wing demonstrators, who had initially planned to protest the city's decision to remove a Confederate statue from a park. "This week, it is Robert E. Lee and this week, Stonewall Jackson. Is it George Washington next?" he said. "You have to ask yourself, where does it stop?” Schatz condemned the press briefing earlier in the week.
