The Chief Executive of 21st Century Fox Turns on Trump
Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA) - Get Report CEO James Murdoch has criticized President Donald Trump's response to the attack in Charlottesville, VA.
Murdoch is the latest executive to lash out at the president. In a memo obtained by Hollywood Reporter, the CEO of the parent company of Fox News said, "What we watched this last week in Charlottesville and the reaction to it by the President of the United States concern all of us as Americans and free people."
The son of conservative and 21CF executive chairman Rupert Murdoch wrote he was writing in a "personal capacity, as a concerned citizen and a father," adding that he did not make a habit of commenting on current affairs.
"I can't even believe I have to write this: standing up to Nazis is essential; there are no good Nazis. Or Klansmen, or terrorists. Democrats, Republicans, and others must all agree on this, and it compromises nothing for them to do so," Murdoch wrote.
Murdoch added that he and his wife Kathryn would be donating $1 million the Anti-Defamation League and encouraged others to do so.
