The CEOs of athletic wear manufacturer Under Armour, computer chip maker Intel and pharmaceutical company Merck resigned Monday from the White House's American Manufacturing Council — with the Merck withdrawal drawing a quick and angry Twitter outburst from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier cited the president's failure to explicitly rebuke the white nationalists who marched in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend. He wrote on Twitter Monday that "America's leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy, which runs counter to the American ideal that all people are created equal."
Frazier is one of the few African-Americans to head a Fortune 500 company.
- Trump finally condemns white supremacists after criticism
- Trump attacks Merck exec for quitting council over Charlottesville
- Under Armour CEO responds to criticism of Trump praise
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich followed, writing that while he had urged leaders to condemn "white supremacists and their ilk," many in Washington "seem more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them."

Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank resigned from the panel later Monday, saying his company "engages in innovation and sports, not politics." Plank did not specifically mention Trump or Charlottesville, but said his company will focus on promoting "unity, diversity and inclusion" through sports.

Sources: Trump strategist's job has never been in more jeopardy
The next White House staff shake-up could leave Steve Bannon on the outside.
Sources told CBS News President Trump's chief political strategist may soon be gone.
The former executive chairman of Breitbart News helped Mr. Trump win the presidency, but his future is at risk because the president's new chief of staff is working to restore order in the West Wing.
A crash course on Steve Bannon
Several high-placed sources inside and outside the White House told CBS News that Bannon has never been in more jeopardy, and one well-placed source said he could be gone by the end of this week, CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett reports.
Bannon's stock has risen and fallen like other senior White House officials, and he has survived job scares before.
His close, personal relationship with the president can't be ruled out, but his fate is the topic of intense internal discussions involving the president and inside and outside advisers, in part because of Bannon's history of clashing with members of the national security team as well as top economic advisers.
He's also accused of using his allies in the conservative media to try to undermine H.R. McMaster, the national security adviser.
Watch: Trump condemns hate groups after Charlottesville tragedy
The new chief of staff at the White House, retired four-star Marine Gen. John Kelly, is trying to eliminate that kind of open, factional warfare within the White House, and he has also tried to strengthen McMaster's position within the White House.
There's an ideological dimension to this as well: Bannon's hard-right, nationalist economic perspective and his reluctance to engage or expand military operations makes him clash with comparatively more moderate voices in the White House.
In the end, this could come down to the president's newly forged relationship with Kelly. Several sources told CBS News that Kelly wants "more adults" in the White House, and where Bannon falls on Kelly's estimation of adult or not adult could decide his fate.

如果TRUMP真的炒了Bannon，极右派很可能由爱生恨。想想3K党的警告。

In rare rebuke of Trump, UK's May says leaders must condemn far-right views
British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday there was no equivalence between fascists and those who opposed them, a rare rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump by one of his closest foreign allies.
Trump inflamed tensions after a deadly rally of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, by insisting that counter-protesters were also to blame, drawing condemnation from some Republican leaders and praise from white far-right groups.
"There's no equivalence, I see no equivalence between those who propound fascist views and those who oppose them and I think it is important for all those in positions of responsibility to condemn far-right views wherever we hear them," May told reporters when asked to comment on Trump's stance.
On Monday, May's spokesman had said that while Britain condemned racism, what the U.S. president said was "a matter for him."
May has been widely criticized by domestic political opponents for her efforts to cultivate close ties with Trump, whom she visited at the White House days after his inauguration and invited for a state visit to Britain.
Her openly critical comment on Wednesday was an unexpected shift from May, who is keen to cement what she and many other Britons see as a "special relationship" between London and Washington as Britain prepares to leave the European Union.
The invitation to Trump to make a state visit to Britain sparked immediate controversy in Britain when the U.S. head of state announced his widely-criticized ban on travel from Muslim-majority countries just hours after May left the White House.
Trump's stance on the Charlottesville violence drew renewed calls for Trump's state visit, which would be hosted by Queen Elizabeth and involve lavish pageantry, to be canceled. May had rejected similar calls after previous Trump-related controversies.
"Donald Trump has shown he is unable to detach himself from the extreme-right and racial supremacists," said Vince Cable, leader of the opposition Liberal Democrats.
"It would be completely wrong to have this man visit the UK on a state visit."
No date has been announced for the visit.
