LeBron James says love is needed after the events in Charlottesville

After Donald Trump's unhinged press conference yesterday, where he said both sides were to blame after the domestic terrorism incident in Charlottesville, Virginia, various public figures are speaking out with a different kind of message.

At his annual Family Foundation event last night, Cleveland Cavaliers all star LeBron James spoke out against Trump's comments.

James called for change through love, saying it's not about Trump, "it's about us."

ESPN's David McMenamin tweeted James' entire speech:

Lebron said that he felt responsible for using his status to get this message across.

"I have this platform and I’m somebody that has a voice of command, and the only way for us to get better as a society, and for us to get better as people, is love. And that’s the only way we’re going to be able to conquer something as one."

Hours before the events, James tweeted his thoughts on how Trump's presidency ignited these hateful and violent events.

Though James comment's were not without controversy on Twitter, his message of love will hopefully not be lost on his fans.
