The white nationalist behind the violent hate rally in Charlottesville, Va., was chased away from a botched press conference Sunday as angry protesters swarmed on him.

Jordan Kessler, the organizer behind the “Unite the Right” demonstration that sparked deadly violence Saturday, scurried away from his 2 p.m. remarks after the irate crowd drowned him out.

Kessler was seen fleeing the scene with the help of a Charlottesville police officer as the mob yelled “murderer” and “shame” at him.

He was helped by the same police force that the white supremacist blamed for allowing counter protesters to clash with his hate rally.

It's the first time I was tempted to root for a mob to lynch someone

1. It's the second time for me. First time was White House press conference with Stephen miller. Nt

2. Obligatory

3. There was fear in that man's eyes.

I wondered if he understood the irony when he was on the receiving end of a large ange crowd.

5. Doubt it seriously

Remember, to a significant minority of people in this country, "White is right" and ever shall it be so in their minds. He'll be a mini martyr to the alt-right cause and bask in their adulation.

4. That's how you run fascism out of your town.

White Supremacists feel "oppressed"?

As you wish.

16. Good.

They deserve it.
Let's do it to them.

6. Good.

People are standing up against the hate.

Big he man nazi leader running away gets tackled by a woman. And a white one at that. Can't use the race war excuse on that one.

edit, But I suppose he was milking that opportunity by trying to speak to such a hostile local community audience, wanting to get "attacked" by the violent left to use for their own propaganda.

9. I know violence is never the answer but

I found I had to quash my sincere hope that someone decked him. I wouldn't want the resistor to get into legal trouble, though. And, again, I know violence solves nothing.

10. Richard Painter made a statement on Joy this AM that

he believes the Unite the Right and other Nazi groups are being financed by Putin. Seems a logical extension of their destabilization strategy. Hopefully our fearless media will investigate that claim.

[SunSeeker]

12. Totally plausible since Putin is doing that in Europe.

I wish Putin would finance his own impoverished citizens, who have a lower per capita income than people in India.

13. hey you never know

may be that is why tRump is not denouncing these white supremacists.

11. "It's the first time I was tempted to root for a mob to lynch someone."

See how easy it is?

Those protesting him were impressively restrained.

I can imagine if it were the other way around what may have happened.

he DID get punched by one guy and pushed and shoved quite a bit...

14. ahem

As you get up in the morning and look in the mirror, you have to ask yourself, are you a committed national socialist?

If you are, you must take the nearest loaded gun and put it to your head. But not before removing yourself from any possibility of harming a human with a soul, an animal, plant or even a cockroach.
Then you must pull the trigger.

18. Looking forward to the lawsuit

For his role in the death of one and the crippling of at least 20 other citizens. As event organizer I bet he can be held liable. If not criminally - at least in a civil suit.
