Supporting someone because they are the best option (which imo Trump is not btw) does not mean that everything they do or think is agreed with.

It may not apply to everything but it seems like the kind of thing that if you support a candidate who supports these types of groups then you're probably implicit. We're not just talking about some minor quibble about his policy. Trump has been on record numerous times with his anti-immigrant xenophobic and racist views.
Not to mention the fact that I highly doubt that most Trump supporters have an issue with what's going on in Charlottesville. Trump has been supporting this type of behaviour for the last two years and these are the people that voted for him. What would make anyone think that that would change now?
Using some ridiculous excuse about only voting for him as an anti-Hillary vote is hilarious to me. You still voted for a candidate with extreme xenophobic and racist attitudes and his entire campaign was predicated on drumming up this type of conflict among his voters.
