Jon Decker ripped into two of his fellow Fox News coworkers on Thursday for sending out a mass company email defending President Trump's comments in support of white supremacists in 2017. Decker likened the emails to a "white supremacist chat room" in his succinct take down of the two Fox News employees.

The Fox News Radio White House correspondent became incensed when general assignment reporter Doug McKelway sent out an email to employees criticizing Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden for highlighting Trump's positive comments about violent white nationalist protesters, one of whom killed a woman with his car during the 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

McKelway used an infamous Winston Churchill quote to defend Trump before highlighting a quote from his own interview with Brian Lambert, a white supremacist who said his group was the actual victim of the protest. According to Lambert and other white nationalists, the groups were there to defend a statue of disgraced confederate general Robert E. Lee

“They’re denying people their right to assemble. They’re denying their right to speak freely, however hateful their views may be,” Lambert told McKelway in the 2017 story. Fox News Digital Senior Editor Cody Derespina jumped in to back up McKelway with quotes of his own from Charlottesville protester Jarrod Kuhn, who Decker later noted was an avowed white supremacist seen on video shouting, "Jews will not replace us," the night before the deadly 2017 rally.

"Based on the slew of emails that I've received today, both of you ought to send an apology to your Fox colleagues – many of whom are hurt and infuriated by your respective posts," Decker wrote back in emails obtained and published by FTV Live.

"Your posts read like something you'd read on a White Supremacist chat room."

President Trump is again facing heavy criticism for his response to the 2017 rally after reviving the issue during comments he made Friday morning outside of the White House. He once again defended his decision to call white supremacist protesters and neo-Nazis "very fine people" after the 2017 riots in Charlottesville.

Asked if he still thinks there were "very fine people" on both sides of the white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville, Trump says, "I was talking about people that went b/c they felt very strongly about the monument to Robert E Lee.

"If you look at what I said, you will see that that question was answered perfectly. I was talking about people that went because they felt very strongly about the monument to Robert E. Lee, a great general," Trump said Friday morning.

"Whether you like it or not, he was one of the great generals. I've spoken to many generals here, right at the White House, and many people thought, of the generals, they think that he was maybe their favorite general. People were there protesting the taking down of the monument of Robert E. Lee."
