It's no surprise that the crowd turned on Kessler. According to Gizmodo, Kessler started his statement by blaming the violence on "anti-white hate" and the Charlottesville police.

“Today I just want to come before you, and I want to tell you the story of what really happened before this narrative is allowed to continue spinning out of control,” said Kessler.

“The hate that you hear around you? That is the anti-white hate that fueled what happened yesterday. What happened yesterday was the result of Charlottesville police officers refusing to do their job.”

In another video, Kessler denied any responsibility for the violence that occurred this weekend.
