Protestors Chase White-Nationalist Organizer From Charlottesville...(organizer Obama supporter)
NYMAG ^ | 8/13/17 | Benjamin Hart

Posted on 08/14/2017 7:10:53 AM PDT by barmag25

A day after a white-nationalist riot left one dead and dozens injured in Charlottesville, one of the co-organizers of the rally attempted to hold a press conference in the city, but was shouted down and chased away by protestors as he started to address the crowd.

Jason Kessler, who helped coordinate Saturday’s ill-fated “Unite the Right” rally, was slated to speak at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday outside Charlottesville City Hall, but a large number of protestors drowned him out with chants of “Shame!”

The Southern Poverty Law Center describes Kessler as a “relative newcomer to the white nationalist scene” who may have been active in Occupy Wall Street before undergoing a political transformation. A University of Virginia graduate, he gained notoriety for his campaign against a black Charlottesville City Council member, who resigned after Kessler surfaced a series of years-old offensive tweets. Kessler was arrested during May’s torchlit rally in Charlottesville that was a precursor to Saturday’s event.

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.

Obama supporting occupy activist has a complete change of ideology after Trump was elected and now organizes rally’s to make Trump supporters look like Nazis

Something seems a little fishy.

The demonstrators had a permit and approval of the local court to hold their rally in Lee Park. Does anyone believe there would have been a problem if they were just left alone? The protestors had no permit and created a situation which caused the problem. I guess it demonstrates that protestors can prevent citizens from exercising their 1st Amendment Rights. Isn't that what is going on in other parts of the country?

My understanding is the event was organized by Soros-funded Unite The Right, an Astroturf agent-provocateur organization imo. Their demonstration was counter-protested by Soros-Funded Antifa, a fascist, violent, pro-socialist leftist group. The media responded with an ourcry of “white nationalism” aimed at Trump.

So a Soros-backed setup which attracted the crazy resulting in a loss of life.

Hopefully, DOJ will flesh all this out.

A “white nationalist riot”? Didn’t mention it was started by leftists. I’m surprised it didn’t say white “supremacists” riot. The machine better get their act together. Millions of voters support “white nationalism”. And even more support jyst plain nationalism and uniting the right
In fact uniting the right is the DEEP state’s biggist fear.

I believe you’ve found the thread...

The reason they said “White Nationalist” is to associate the term with Neo-Nazi idiocy.

Being white, and a Nationalist will be redefined as being a “White Nationalist” which is at this very moment being redefined as being a “White Supremacist”, which is at this very moment being redefined as Neo-Nazi wallpaper licker.

The intention is to conflate nationalists and supremacists.
