'Unite the Right' organizer tweets insult of slain protester, backtracks, then cites drug combination, deletes account

A tweet from the account of the far-right activist who organized the Charlottesville, Va., “Unite the Right” rally insulted the protester who was killed at the event, saying late Friday night that her death was “payback time.”

“Heather Heyer was a fat, disgusting Communist,” stated the tweet on an account belonging to Jason Kessler. “Communists have killed 94 million. Looks like it was payback time.”

The tweet linked to a story on neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer that also insulted Heyer in crude terms and appeared to take glee in her death.

Kessler’s tweet sparked denunciations from other far-right rally attendees, who quickly distanced themselves, accelerating a spiral of recriminations that have been brewing among far-right leaders over who was to blame for the chaos behind last weekend’s violent “Unite the Right” rally.

Stay classy, Mr. Kessler. True to form, you fucked up, embarrassed yourself, and like all Nazis you backtracked and tried to hide the foul garbage that you said and thought.

Bravo sir!

1. Yeah, he's an innocent bystander.

Poor thing.

[SunSeeker]

2. Kessler shit his pants.

[herding cats]

3. That's how real adults own up to their mistakes. Not.

“I repudiate the heinous tweet that was sent from my account last night. I’ve been under a crushing amount of stress & death threats,” one of Kessler's tweets stated. “I’m taking ambien, xanax and I had been drinking last night. I sometimes wake up having done strange things I can’t remember.”

First pretending it wasn't you, then admitting you were doing drugs and alcohol and blaming your poor decisions, rather than than blaming yourself for those decisions. Way to show what you're really made of there buddy. You're a piece of decaying fecal material, and now even the other pieces of fecal material want to distance themselves from your stench.

It takes a special kind of talent to reach that level of disgustingness.

21. Drugs and alcohol don't create attitudes

they just loosen inhibitions. All he did was speak his mind.

4. Not Ready For Prime Time Nazis

[hibbing]

5. I'm getting tired of term "far-right" used in that article

Must be in there five times. Author can't use a more appropriate name for them? Nazis? Fascists?

Peace

[iluvtennis]

6. I agree with you. Alt-right, Far-right is just trying to sugar coat things -it's WHITE SUPREMACISTS

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

7. I know what you mean, but I heard an interview with a journalist

who was granted an audience with one of the top Nazis in Charlottesville. She said she uses the term art-right to indicate a particular branch of white supremacy distinguished by the youth of its members and its modern techniques for recruiting and displaying their bigotry.

She was also the one who said that misogyny and men's right's groups was the gateway bigotry for the alt-righters.

14. Christopher Cantwell

He got his start in what are now the "red pill" style groups, and now he's a full blown Nazi.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

15. Red Pill?

What's that mean?

[genxlib]

8. I agree that it is soft selling

However, it does have the advantage of keeping them linked to the remainder of the right.

As their vile attitudes become more public, I find it useful to keep them tethered to their ideological kin.

[ToxMarz]

13. At the same time, alt-right was coined to sanitize their image and try to make it more palatable

Something a new generation could embrace, now that has been yanked from under them and its true face exposed. Many of them are running from it and that's a good thing.

[BigmanPigman]

9. When the going gets tough, the baby Nazis start fleeing.

[ProgressiveValue]

10. Loose cannon

Prescription drugs mixed with alcohol resulting in total loss of control and memory lapse; is there guns in his home?

[SethH]

11. he should re-think how superior he thinks he is

“I’m taking ambien, xanax and I had been drinking last night. I sometimes wake up having done strange things I can’t remember.”

[riversedge]

12. Just like #Trump-this Far-Right Republican 'leader' accepts no responsibility

[Mc Mike]

16. I see. A dRumpfenfuhrer fan calling his and dRump's enemies 'commies'.

Wonder how those dRump-Russia connection investigations are coming along.

[Julian Englis]

17. Actually, that's a pretty dangerous combination--alcohol, Xanax, and Ambien

It seems like quite a few of these Fascists seem to have substance issues. (E.g., Cantwell and drinking.)

I wonder what his prescriber is going to do? Try to get him into rehab? I'd think there'd be major liability issues if the prescriber doesn't act.

ETA: and I forgot to mention the most famous fascist junkie of all: Rush Limbaugh

[George II]

18. An even more dangerous combination is Nazis, KKK, and White Supremacists.

[Julian Englis]

19. True--Alcohol and other drugs increase the risk of impulsive, disinhibited violence.

There are reasons that fights, shootings, and suicides often involve alcohol and other drugs. Firearms make these events even more lethal.

[IronLionZion]

20. Terrorists

When will that term start being used for these assholes who commit violence and murder on American civilians in pursuit of a political agenda? After they're out in the sun too long and get a dark tan?

[truthisfreedom]

22. Huh. Who woulda thunk?
