<p>NEW YORK (WTHR) - Jimmy Fallon passed on the usual jokes to share his thoughts on the weekend protests in Virginia.</p> 
<p>"What happened this weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia was just disgusting," Fallon said.</p> 
<p>He said he watched the protests and became "sick to my stomach." He added that he was concerned about the effect the news would have on his young daughters.</p> 
<p>"They're two years old and four years old, they don't know what hate is. They go to the playground, they have friends of all races and backgrounds, they just play, they laugh and they have fun," Fallon said.</p> 
<p>He said children need parents and teachers who they can look up to for guidance, as well as "leaders that appeal to the best of us."</p> 
<p>The "Tonight Show" host called out President Donald Trump, saying it was "shameful" that the president took two days "to clearly denounce racists and white supremacists," adding that Trump likely did so only after public pressure.</p> 
<p>"It's important for everyone, especially white people in this country, to speak out against this. Ignoring it is just as bad as supporting it," he said.</p> 
<p>Fallon paid tribute to 32-year-old Heather Heyer, who died when she was struck by a car during a counter-protest in Charlottesville.</p> 
<p>"I can't look at my beautiful, growing, curious daughters and say nothing when this kind of thing is happening," Fallon said.</p>
