I think one of the reasons that the reaction to this is more intense is that a solid amount of people on the right (not just the far right) have taken a full defensive stand for this group of white supremacists.
Have they, though? At best, I've only seen people saying that they followed the letter of the law in holding a rally/protest and/or claim that BOTH sides are at fault for the violence that erupted between the two groups and I would not label that as defending them. Aside from that, I've seen condemnation of the KKK, white supremacists, and white people who haven't publicly condemned the aforementioned hate groups.
