The rise and humiliating fall of Chris Cantwell, Charlottesvilles starring fascist
Well, folks, our blubbering baby nazi wannabe finally made national news.
That should just about finish his tuff man image.
but did you know he had runner-ups?
The white supremacists, nationalists and far-right trolls who starred in last weekend’s violent Charlottesville rallies have suffered no lack of humiliation in the days since.
Take “Millennial Matt,” whose catchphrase — “Hitler did nothing wrong!” — earned him tens of thousands of fans before he went to the rally, but his Twitter account has since been deleted, his real identity publicized, and he is now begging fans for money to flee his hometown because “my life is in shambles.”
There are plenty of other examples, from the hot dog restaurant cook who lost his job to students whose universities publicly renounced racism after they went to the march. There’s even a Twitter feed devoted to shaming the tiki-torch-lit faces of white nationalism.
But none of the marchers soared so high or crashed so hard as Chris Cantwell, who became the ivory-skinned, gun-toting star of a documentary about Charlottesville that aired Monday on HBO — and a week later is better known as the “weepy white supremacist” or “weeping Nazi” who got banned from OkCupid.

Thanks for so many laughs, Chris.

Howling with laughter 
“Depending on who you listen to, I’m either a hero, a terrorist, or a crybaby, ” he wrote, “which should tell you something about the reliability of the media.”
