Whether it is Richard Spencer or Malik Zulu Shabazz or open-borders extremist Marco Rubio, they all have their first amendment right to speak and to have their audience peaceably assemble to hear them.
But it is a big mistake to “Unite the Right” with opportunists like Spencer or with the KKK or with people who wave the Nazi flag.
We should not allow these elements to become the face of those who want reduced immigration, to protect the native-born American working class and middle class and to end the one-sided globalist loot-the-USA trade deals.

Well said. And it's highly suspicious that any FR members would want to be associated with the likes of racist Richard Spencer or his ilk.
People can oppose the removal of a statue without having to be connected with divisive "white nationalism"—or things even worse than that.
Anyone who looks at the "Unite the Right" promotional posters—and its list of speakers—can clearly see the pro-Supremacist and pro-Nazi sentiments and aesthetics.
FR, President Trump, and conservatism in general bear no resemblance to such Evil, and should have no desire to be associated with such extremism. Indeed, those extremists are trying to attach themselves to legitimate conservatism—in an attempt to normalize their despicable extremism. True Patriots should be repudiating these haters as much as anyone else—moreso.
If race-obsessed identity politics is wrong for Blacks and Hispanics, it's similarly wrong for Whites. That should be abundantly clear...
