According to the leftist
Southern Poverty Law Center [SPLC], one of the white supremacist organizers of
Saturday's rally in Charlottesville is a former Occupy Wall Street activist and
supporter of Barack Obama.
Jason Kessler is listed
with SPLC as an "extremist." Here's an excerpt from the information
about Kessler published on their website:
Relying on familiar tropes of “white genocide” and
“demographic displacement,” white nationalist blogger Jason Kessler seeks
notoriety with his "Unite the Right" march in Charlottesville,
Virginia.
Rumors abound on white nationalist forums that Kessler’s ideological
pedigree before 2016 was less than pure and seem to point to involvement in the
Occupy movement and past support for President Obama.
At one recent speech in favor of Charlottesville’s status as a sanctuary city,
Kessler live-streamed himself as an attendee questioned him and apologized
for an undisclosed spat during Kessler’s apparent involvement with Occupy.
Kessler appeared visibly perturbed by the woman’s presence and reminders of
their past association.
Those speaking at the Charlottesville “Unite the Right”
event include Richard Spencer, who spoke at the first Charlottesville rally,
Mike Enoch of The Right Stuff, Matthew Heimbach of the white nationalist
Traditionalist Workers Party, Augustus Invictus, a pagan neo-fascist who has
pledged to bring about a second Civil War, and Michael Hill of the League of
the South.
Despite overwhelming
condemnation from Republicans and conservatives of white nationalism and what
happened in Charlottesville, the left and their friends in the media have tried
to pin the weekend's violence on the mainstream right. It turns out, they
should be looking further left.
Over to you Durham,
North Carolina.
The activist arrested is a member of Maoist group that is pro North Korea and had just compared police officers to the Confederate Army: https://twitter.com/GrahamDavidA/status/897580797888278528 …
