The mother of the man who allegedly plowed into a group of people protesting a white nationalist rally Saturday in Virginia said she knew her son was attending a rally -- but she thought it was a rally for President Trump, not for white nationalists.
In an interview Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio, with The Associated Press, Samantha Bloom said of her son James Alex Fields Jr., "I just knew he was going to a rally. I mean, I try to stay out of his political views. You know, we don't, you know, I don't really get too involved, I moved him out to his own apartment, so we -- I'm watching his cat."
Bloom was informed by The AP reporter that the rally was indeed organized by white nationalists. "I thought it had something to do with Trump. Trump's not a white supremacist," she said.
"He had an African-American friend so ...," she said before her voice trailed off.
In an interview with The Toledo Blade, she said, "I told him to be careful. [And] if they’re going to rally to make sure he’s doing it peacefully.”
Bloom told The AP she didn't even know about the incident until she spoke with the AP reporter. She said she was indeed surprised with the deadly outcome. "Yeah, that he would run his car into a group of people for... I'm really not clear on..."(continued)

The left will use this event to rally further oppression of conservative speech.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
I am now seeing very conflicting news on this incident. Several sources show a dark gray Dodge Challenger with a beat in nose as the assailant’s car but now released drone footage shows a red Taurus wagon going into the crowd.
ANOTHER mother and child with Different Last Names. Divorce is bad for almost everybody, especially the kids.
Can someone tell me what’s wrong with being a white nationalist? Why are we not being allowed to stand up for the white race and our country?
Maybe he was “typical” and thought his actions were aimed at Trump - lot’s of stupid and insane on their side of things....
We parents are responsible for the sins of our children. No we aren’t. But yes in some way we are! No, in the end they make their own decisions... And so on, the tortured argument continues...
Always a tragedy. The death of love, for the children.
It was less than 4 months, so he went to boot & A-school. He likely never made it to a real duty position.
That’s not a “cherry picked” quote. That’s a manufactured quote.
Good question.
I wonder who or what supported him..???
Are you not paying attention? It is because you backwoods crackers clinging to your Bibles and guns have been declared DOMESTIC TERRORISTS by your own thoroughly corrupt government!
Are you being serious? Really? If you you think you need to “stand up for the white race” then please don’t complain about other racist organizations like Black Lives Matter, the black panthers, La Raza,etc. You’ve forfeited that right. You want to Balkanize this country just like your other counter parts on the left. Please, do us all a favor, and go back underneath your rock and stay there.
What is a white nationalist in the first place? I have never heard of it until now.
Would not be surprised to learn she did not say anything about Trump, the msm just added that on their own.
I was going to doubt that, but she said she didn’t get involved in politics.
Yeah... and her name is Bloom.... and her son’s name is Fields... and they recently moved from Kentucky..... yeah yeah yeah...
Globalists are attempting to tarnish the word nationalist by connecting it to racism. The Globalists are deathly afraid of the the unwashed citizenry taking back control of the USA and the Media is helping in the fight to tarnish patriots by using this disparaging term.
Sir you have no business on this board. Leave.
