Washington @wusa9 reports National Park Service has approved Jason Kessler's permit for Unite the Right2 at Lafayette Square Aug 11-12 but not issued a permit. https://on.wusa9.com/2MBBaEh
I'm glad he's not having another August 12th. rally here in Charlottesville. In DC, no guns, no Jim Crow statues in Lafayette Square, and law enforcement that has a clue how to deal with crowds.
Edit to add: I assumed incorrectly about Charlottesville.

MORE: Jason Kessler tells @HenryGraff he still plans to hold Unite the Right 2 in Charlottesville about the confederate monuments. He says the D.C. event is about the civil rights abuse by and the Charlottesville government. He is suing over permit denial in Charlottesville.

He can also pull a W. And send a pre-recorded message. Even though he'll be at the White House if he's not out golfing again.

Do I need to put a sarcasm thingy here?
Kessler organized an event that killed a former coworker's granddaughter. He shows no remorse or even the faintest amount of sympathy.
I hate that SOB.
