White Supremacist Christopher Cantwell Surrenders to Police in Virginia

HeadlineAug 24, 2017

Meanwhile, white supremacist Christopher Cantwell has surrendered himself to Virginia police and admitted that he attacked an anti-racist protester with pepper spray on August 11, the night torch-bearing white supremacists, including Ku Klux Klan members and neo-Nazis, rallied at the University of Virginia. Cantwell is facing three felonies. This is Cantwell speaking with Vice reporter Elle Reeve about Ivanka Trump.

Christopher Cantwell: “I’m here to spread ideas, talk, in the hopes that somebody more capable will come along and do that, somebody like Donald Trump who does not give his daughter to a Jew. … I don’t think that you could feel about race the way I do and watch that Kushner bastard walk around with that beautiful girl?”
