Wolf Blitzer wonders if Barcelona terror attack was a Charlottesville ‘copycat’
CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer wondered on air whether the suspected terrorist attack on Thursday in Barcelona, Spain, was related to the violence that broke out last weekend at a white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Va. The attack in Barcelona reportedly resulted in several deaths and more injuries after a vehicle plowed into pedestrians on a sidewalk.
