Organizer of Racist Rally Flees News Conference Amidst Chants of 'Shame'

The white nationalist organizer of the Charlottesville, Va. Unite the Right rally that turned into a violent melee on Friday, Jason Kessler, fled amidst shouts of "shame on you" from protesters at a news conference he organized outside Charlottesville City Hall on Sunday, according to CNN.

Kessler, 34 had barely begun his remarks at the news conference when protesters drowned him out shouting "shame" and "murderer" before two protesters appeared to rush the stage, which sent Kessler fleeing with police he would later blame for the violence that occurred on Friday.

Despite shouts and chants from the crowd calling out Kessler for creating a potboiler situation of angry protesters on Friday, Kessler, who earlier this year created the group Unity and Security for America, which seeks to "protect the West" primarily from immigrants, did not accept any responsibility. White supremacist James Fields Jr. to plowed his car into a counter protest killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring nearly 20 others, but Kessler laid the blame for the violence squarely on Charlottesville law enforcement, according to CNN.

"Instead of maintaining law and order, the police purposefully created the catastrophe that led to a melee in the streets of Charlottesville and the death of a counter-protester," he said.

Not only did Kessler blame the police for the angry mob he assembled at his rally, his victimhood includes crying that his first amendment rights have been violated when things don't go his way.

After he ran from the news conference under the cover of the police, he tweeted, "I tried my best but once again violence rules over speech and ideas in #Charlottesville. The First Amendment is finished it seems."

A single arrest occurred at the news conference from which Kessler fled. Police arrested a man who spat on Kessler.
