Senator Young condemned the “hate, bigotry and violence” as he spoke at a luncheon for Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce members Thursday.

Young also visited the CANDLES Holocaust Museum, which was founded by Auschwitz survivor Eva Kor. Kor says she’s also against the groups but is focusing on a message of forgiveness.

The visit was Young’s first trip to Terre Haute since he became a congressman in January. He also stopped at the Wabash Valley Health Center and the Hamilton Center.

Young posted on social media twice in recent days to express his stance against white supremacist groups.
