Richard Spencer, who in August led white nationalists and white supremacists in a torchlight march across the University of Virginia campus that touched off a weekend of clashes that turned deadly, returned Saturday night to Charlottesville, Virginia.

Spencer, a white nationalist, posted video on social media of followers carrying torches to the statue of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, which the city has sought to remove.

Spencer did not immediately return a message seeking comment Saturday night, but he posted video on social media.

WVIR-TV reported that Spencer and his group arrived at the park about 7:45 p.m., and departed 15 minutes later.
