Question: Did Kessler write articles for CNN that were sympathetic to the Occupy movement?
False. Kessler says he never worked for CNN, and we spoke to a source at CNN who confirmed it. A writer named Jason Kessler was once employed by CNN, and he did cover Occupy Wall Street protests among many other topics, but according to CNN it was not the same Jason Kessler who went on to lead Unite the Right.
On 26 August 2017, the conservative blog SpartaReport linked to a 2013 tweet identifying a Jason M. Kessler as a former CNN reporter (the Charlottesville organizer’s full name is Jason Erik Kessler).
