White Supremacist Leader in Charlottesville Jason Kessler Was Obama Supporter – Occupy Protester
GP ^ | 08/14/17 | Joshua Caplan

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.

Southern Poverty Law Center reports:

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.

On Sunday, a violent leftist mob shut down a press conference by white nationalists Richard Spencer and Jason Kessler outside of Charlottesville City Hall.

The mob reportedly chased Spencer and Kessler back to their waiting vehicles.

My grassroots immigration group has been labeled as being racist and bigoted by the SPLC along with other groups like NumbersUSA, FAIR, and the Center for Immigration Studies. They are a far left hate group that can only be described as vermin.

Whatever the background of Kessler, there is an SPLC agenda associated with discrediting him. Perhaps, they want to show that Kessler was really a radical, right-wing racist who had infiltrated the Left before reverting to his true colors. Or they want to spread dissension and distrust on the right of their leadership.

The bottom line is that the SPLC will never do anything to hurt their leftist agenda.

I want to know who paid for the Confederate Flags.

What is wrong with the Confederate flag being displayed in public at an event that was ostensibly to preserve the Southern heritage of the Civil War? The Confederate Flag is not the same as the flags with the Swastika. It would be worthwhile to see where those came from.

Lyndon LaRouche supporters use to bring Nazi stuff to our Tea Party rallies in VA and they were promptly sent off by us.

It was a languid early evening that Thursday outside the back of Barry’s Bath House. We waited as patiently as we could as the solar heated sidewalk radiated into our soles and the heat from the dingy air conditioner leaning, angling down and pointing into the shade of the concrete stairwell that trapped the AC exhaust into the invisible whirl that pressed heavy against the heart like an undersized blood pressure cuff adding to the anxiety already building like the humidity stretching upward toward its diastolic relative which, the last I heard was 92 degrees and rising. We were told to wait outside until the boss showed up.

It was July in D.C. alright and we heard something big was getting ready to go down and we were needed...

But seriously, you’re right.

Wait a sec... a white supremacist supported Barack Hussein Obama ?
No, but a “white supremacist” certainly might be a BHO supporter conducting a false flag operation . . .

Yep, presumed agents David Duke and Richard Spencer were there too. Duke going out of his way to ensnare Trump somehow.

The Deep State pulling out all the stops.

They sure are. The fact that these scum mention or thank Trump is proof positive in my mind that this was a set up. If they really supported Donald Trump they'd never breath his name. They know that their ideology is repugnant and toxic to the vast majority of Americans.

I guess we have to decide which he is.. One or the other.

The two are mutually exclusive .. to and beyond fundamentals.

A white supremacist wouldn’t ever vote for Obama. Period. I mean, how many RINOs didn’t vote because they were nevertrumpers ?

Report: ‘Unite the Right’ Organizer Jason Kessler Was Obama Supporter Involved With Occupy Movement

Most of this crap was a set up... just like the violent protesters at Trump Rallies were paid for by democrat organizations.

If democrat groups paid for the confederate flags... and pushed the ‘protests’ then we need that on the table.

What about the freshly opened Nazi flags planted? It is beginning to look like this was a total set up to smear Trump... just like they tried at all his campaign rallies.

Yes, I would like to see who bought, paid, and picked up the NAZI flags. Traceing that back to the democrat party or the Southern Poverty Law Center would NOT be surprising.

This is the very thing that was done at the Trump campaign rallies ... paid protesters sent in to make Trump appear to be a ‘white supremacist’... The neocons are the ones who first started with labeling Trump a ‘nazi’ then a ‘fascists’...

And then Johnny on the Spot, Ted (Obama) Cruz, blamed Trump for the ‘violence’ at the Chicago rally. True to his nature it was Ted Cruz, first in line demanding, the Attorney General investigate the Charlottesville ‘domestic terrorism’ event. I have to wonder if Ted's Senate reelection campaign, got a cash dump over the weekend?

Jarrett lives with the Obamas, reportedly.

They brief the media at 8:30 am and 9:45 pm with daily talking points.

Why?
