According to two New York Times reporters, Trump's economic adviser Gary Cohn is "deeply upset" by the president's remarks after Charlottesville violence.


President Trump’s comments during a fiery Tuesday press conference have outraged many, his own aides reportedly being among them.
That group is said to include Gary Cohn who serves as a top economic adviser to the president.
In a Wednesday report, Axios said that Trump’s comments on the deadly weekend violence in Charlottesville left Cohn, “somewhere between appalled and furious." 
Glenn Thrush, a New York Times White House correspondent, made a similar assessment of the adviser’s reaction, tweeting, “Gary Cohn, NEC chair -- who is Jewish -- was 'disgusted' and ‘upset’ by Trump's comments on white nationalists, per 3 ppl with knowledge.”
His colleague Maggie Haberman took to Twitter as well, writing, “Gary Cohn said to be deeply upset by last few days, per multiple sources. Not leaving admin but not happy.”
Cohn was standing beside Trump when Tuesday’s press conference, which was supposed to focus on infrastructure, turned into what many saw as a defense of white supremacists. 
When asked if he agreed with Senator John McCain’s suggestion that the alt-right was linked to the fatal violence in Charlottesville, Trump replied, in part, “Excuse me, what about the alt-left that came charging at the, as you say, the alt-right. Do they have any semblance of guilt…What about the fact they came charging — that they came charging, with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do…You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent.”
