00:12where he said there were very fine people on both sides of the Charlottesville rally this weekend.
00:17Here are the five best late night reactions.
00:19On ABC, Jimmy Kimmel said he understands why people are so upset about Trump's response to Charlottesville.
00:25He also read mean tweets from Trump supporters who were not pleased about the host addressing them on Tuesday's show
00:31and asking them to admit they were wrong in voting for the president.
00:35Why don't you go somewhere else like a different country if you don't like our president
00:38and stop your crying on TV, snowflake.
00:41And on NBC's Late Night, Seth Meyers didn't hold back on his opinion of Trump,
00:46calling him a lying racist who was desperate for praise.
00:49He also said he didn't buy the president's excuse for why he took so long to condemn white supremacists
00:54after Charlottesville.
00:56And he had this reaction to Trump saying there were very fine people on both sides.
01:00There are no fine people marching with Nazis and white supremacists.
01:04Over on CBS's Late Show, Stephen Colbert addressed the president directly about the press conference,
01:09saying,
01:10You showed us who you were.
01:11Everywhere in this country, people were horrified.
01:14North, South, Republican, Democrat, top, bottom, sweet, sour.
01:19As for Jimmy Fallon, the host taped Tuesday's Tonight Show on NBC
01:22before listening to Trump's press conference,
01:25so he addressed it on Wednesday for the first time.
01:27It's crazy.
01:27I'm starting to miss the old days when we were on the verge of nuclear war with North Korea.
01:31And back on CBS, James Corden's Late Late Show monologue focused on the CEOs
01:35who resigned from Trump's Manufacturing Council following his Charlottesville remarks,
01:39which caused the president to say he was disbanding the council himself.
01:43The CEO of the company 3M was one of those who resigned,
01:46leading to this joke from Corden.
01:48And when Donald Trump asked why, they said that 3M doesn't want to be associated with the 3Ks.
