Russia had N O T H I N G to do with what happened in Charlottesville. I have seen the perpetrators with my own eyes, been inside their organizing circles, exposed them, and more. Not one trace of Russian involvement.https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1028375273757188097 …

Russia didn't have anything to do w/ what happened *in* Charlottesville. After it happened, there was Russian involvement in how it was inflamed online (mainly on Twitter).

With respect, it's incorrect to say Russia didn't have anything to do with the initial incidents. Spencer's people were chanting "Russia is our friend" while they were marching. It's absurd to think that idea sprang out of the void. https://newrepublic.com/article/143933/lefts-supporting-role-american-hate-theater …pic.twitter.com/AVELmmlJ4b

Let me put it this way: Charlottesville is my city, and minutes after he did that I remotely tracked him and his convoy from a location 6 hours away, and he spent a significant time on his podcast the next day threatening me by name. I know more about this than you.

He specifically chose that chant to piss off progressives in Charlottesville and the liberal narrative of Russian wrongdoing. He admits this openly. He was separated from his wife at that time, and 5 days later was sued in a major lawsuit that he could barely afford a lawyer for.

He followed IRA trolls on Twitter. Even if he believed his friends were in Tennessee, the realty is, they worked for the Kremlin. Being ignorant of spreading a Kremlin talking point doesn't change the fact that it's a Kremlin talking point.

I don’t know how to explain this to you but the people that make Richard Spencer dangerous aren’t that way because he follows them on twitter.
