About Jason Kessler
A relative newcomer to the white nationalist scene, Jason Kessler has made waves in his attempt to unseat Charlottesville’s only black city councilman and for his status as a bridge between a Virginia gubernatorial candidate and the Alt-Right.
...
Rumors abound on white nationalist forums that Kessler’s ideological pedigree before 2016 was less than pure and seem to point to involvement in the Occupy movement and past support for President Obama.
At one recent speech in favor of Charlottesville’s status as a sanctuary city, Kessler live-streamed himself as an attendee questioned him and apologized for an undisclosed spat during Kessler’s apparent involvement with Occupy. Kessler appeared visibly perturbed by the woman’s presence and reminders of their past association.

I think this may be the video (from Jason Kessler's youtube page) described in the article (starting at 44:39). I'm not sure that the guy in the video is Jason Kessler, but the guy in the video does appear to have switched allegiances (according to the woman beside him).:

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (NEWSPLEX) -- Nearly two weeks after a heated encounter between social justice activists and a group of people including white nationalist blogger Jason Kessler on the Downtown Mall, a woman has been charged with assault and battery and disturbing the peace.
Charlottesville police arrested 38-year-old Veronica Haunami Fitzhugh on Wednesday. She is accused of assaulting Kessler on May 20 during an encounter around 9:30 p.m. Her attorney, Jeff Fogel, says cell phone video of the incident doesn't show physical contact between Fitzhugh and Kessler.
