Washington Post should investigates statements by Southern Poverty Law Center about Jason Kessler

I hope the Washington Post will either confirm or debunk these statements by the Southern Poverty Law Center about Jason Kessler, the organizer of the alt-right rally in Charlottesville

Jason Kessler is the organizer of the alt-right rally that recently took place in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The Southern Poverty Law Center wrote of Kessler:

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.

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.

If this had been posted by some right wing conspiracy blog, I would dismiss it as being fake news.

But this was published by a highly reputable left wing source.

I hope the Washington Post will investigate this to either debunk it or confirm it.

If it is true, then Kessler is a left wing nut job masquerading as a right wing nut job.

It did seem too perfect that the ACLU sued to make sure this happened.

It’s interesting that they call it a “tirade against Wes Bellamy” without saying what Bellamy did.

And as always, be sure and Google Morris Dees divorce papers.

The mind boggles at the notion that SPLC is being straight about this. But I can’t think of any benefit to them for even putting it out there.

If Kessler was with the KKK as he appears to put out to the public would you go to his rally?

If Kessler is obviously a leftist plant claiming to be with the KKK would you go to his rally?

Similar to Lee Harvey Oswald being involved in pro and anti Castro groups

I hope he was not a Trojan Horse.

Don’t wonder about it, look it up yourself. Jason Kessler is a CNN Reporter, Democrat, Occupy Wall Street goon, and huge Obama supporter. He is a self proclaimed provocateur trying to facilitate a left wing revolution...

no the suspicion is Kessler’s was may have been a plant...

His official conversion was when Trump got elected but that seems a big shift from a guy that was a Barack Obama Occupy Wall Street George Soros radical group head

then you add in that he organizes this rally called Unite the Right and brings in the worst elements this bunch of Central Casting skinkead Losers that no sane person on the right would ever consider being involved with just on Optics alone (bad judgement call All Around even if you hadbbeen on the right since he was born)

in a final element is wikileeks has pointed out that George Soros has formatted Neo-Nazi uprisings in countries he wants to destabilize for exactly the reasons we’re seeing that they’ll be vilified and it gives an opening for his left to take come in

From zerohedge to Breitbart, aol to time.com they’re all using the story.

I chose SPLC because they once named me to their hate watch list and I feel, I don’t know, a sense of continuity in their message, a message that never, ever reflects an accurate interpretation.

I say, if not SPLC, who?

I mean besides zerohedge and Breitbart and aol and time.

No such left-wing place exists.

One thing I find ludicrous about the whole thing is, would ANYONE think a Republican/Conservative would be interested in ORGANIZING anything? Protests? Really? This guy was a Soros paid Organizer, sent to creat chaos so the Left would benefit. And Big Media was at the ready to help.
