In Virginia, federal prosecutors have charged four white supremacists from California with conspiracy and inciting rioting at the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in August of 2017. U.S. Attorney Thomas Cullen said that the men also engaged in acts of violence in their home state of California at a series of political rallies, dubbing them “serial rioters.” Last year’s protest left activist Heather Heyer dead after white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. plowed his car into a crowd of peaceful counterprotesters. In the wake of the rally, President Trump declared, “I think there is blame on both sides. … But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides.”
