He went on to say that the white supremacists were "being charged at by people with clubs who didn't have permits to protest".

Well, couple of things:
1. There were permits for the counter-protests.
2. Unite the Right's permit was nullified before it became realized because of the declaration of an unlawful assembly.
I also am not surprised about him walking back his statement. He showed his true colors, and the American fascists will eat this up. I am pissed, however, about his lies in this conference. He claims he waited for all of the facts, and then spouts a lie about the weekend's events by claiming they were peaceful/quiet on Friday night. So quiet and peaceful that they beat peaceful counter-protesting students with their flaming tiki torches.
