The Daily Caller Removes ‘Unite the Right’ Organizer Jason Kessler’s Bylines From Web Site

The conservative site has deleted articles by a white supremacist who organized the deadly rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

As of 14 August 2017, Daily Caller — a conservative web site with a twin nonprofit organization — has scrubbed its site of articles by Jason Kessler, the white supremacist who was an organizer of a deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia the weekend before.

................................

Kessler had at least two other previous stories on the web site — one on 26 April 2017 in which he interviewed Kyle Chapman, a 41 year old man known online as “Based Stickman” and who has become famous among supporters for swinging a stick at opponents during “alt-right” demonstrations. A third story written on 3 April 2017 outlined the gruesome murder of a 17-year-old boy by MS-13 gang members. As of 14 August 2017, the urls for those stories are no longer live.

We left a voice message for Cronner asking why the stories were removed, and have not received a response. We also sent an e-mail to Kessler seeking comment but got no response.

The Anti-Defamation League has named Kessler as a white supremacist who made anti-Semitic remarks and said the United States would have been better off if the Confederacy had won the Civil War. Kessler was chased away while trying to hold a press conference on 13 August 2017 by Charlottesville residents who were angry over the violence and hatred expressed at the Unite the Right event.

but that religious conversion is about as genuine as them calling themselves "Christian"
