LeBron James accused Trump of making hate 'fashionable' after he blamed both sides for Charlottesville protests and compared George Washington to Robert E. Lee.

LeBron James voiced his displeasure with President Donald Trump after Tuesday's controversial press conference, noting that hate has always been present, but that it is the president who is making it "fashionable."

Trump gave a fiery press conference on Tuesday at Trump Tower, during which he once again blamed multiple sides for the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia and compared George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to Robert E. Lee when discussing the removal of confederate statues.

Following the press conference, James criticized the president on Twitter.

James endorsed Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election.
