White supremacist and ‘Unite the Right’ leader, Jason Kessler, was once reportedly a supporter a former President Obama and the Occupy movement.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (an organization that is certainly no friend to Conservatives), Kessler revealed his political transformation around November 2016, the same month then candidate Donald Trump won the presidential election.
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.
Kessler himself has placed his “red-pilling” around December of 2013 when a PR executive was publicly excoriated for a tasteless Twitter joke about AIDS in Africa.
Regarding the incident, Kessler stated “… so it was just a little race joke, nothing that big of a deal, she didn’t have that many followers, she probably didn’t think anybody was gonna see it,”
Regardless of Kessler’s past politics, the rightward shift in his views was first put on display in November, 2016 when his tirade against Wes Bellamy began.

When will this seemingly ceaseless "us vs them" mentality end?
America is so divided... and most of it is due to the media of all kinds and how it has influenced and polarized us.
It keeps us distracted and divided.
At the end of the day we are all Americans who want mostly the same things. We are not so different or divided.
The radical minorities are loud, but they are tiny and need to be ignored and dismissed.
Who cares about them?
9:16 am it is all Obama's and the Democrats fault. Obama is a racist and his plan was/is for America to be converted and ran. Y black Muslims.

When people make those stupid "who cares" comments like 9:16 AM just did. THEY are the PROBLEM !
That guy is a nut case that sides with whatever side is getting the most attention.
Just another rabble-rouser.
This is what happens when you have hate vs hate.
This is giving a lot of credence to conspiracy theories saying that this was a setup from the beginning for political purposes. And literally two days later all monuments are in danger.
