Some white protestors, joined by Richard Spencer, were angry over plans to remove a monument from a park named after Robert E Lee in Charlottesville, VA. They wielded torches and shouted things like "you will not replace us", "Russia is our friend", and the Nazi slogan "blood and soil".
The Mayor compared it to when the KKK had a presence in the area and the head of the local GOP said the "intolerance and hatred... is disgusting and disturbing beyond words". Other pro-monument demonstrators distanced themselves from Spencer and his ilk, saying they have no place in the community, that it's an issue up to the community to debate.
