The organizer of the yesterday's Unite the Right rally was mobbed as he tried to give a press conference blaming the city and cops for the death of a woman protesting the hate-fueled march.

Jason Kessler, who was behind the march that turned violent yesterday, leaving one dead and at least 19 injured, was punched and tackled to the ground after the surrounding crowd at his presser turned nasty.

The alt-right leader had spoken for mere minutes before he was surrounded by an angry mob outside City Hall in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Police have not confirmed if any arrests have been made.

Massive boos and cries of 'shame' rang out as he tried to blame the death of Heather Heyer 32, who was killed by a white supremacist protester, on the city of Charlottesville.

Kessler explained that he had applied and was granted a permit to assemble yesterday, and had arranged security and liaised with police for the protest.

But earlier this week, the city ordered Saturday's rally to be relocated out of Emancipation Park to a larger one, further out of the city, citing safety reasons.

Kessler sued on grounds of free speech and on Friday, a judge granted a preliminary injunction which allowed the rally of white nationalists and other extremists to take place at its originally planned location downtown.

The alt-right blogger says the refusal and unexpected delay 'upended all our security arrangements'.

Counter protesters confronted Kessler mid-speech, shouting obscenities and yelling he had allowed the 'murder' of Heather Heyer

Crowds of counter protesters had joined the media for the press conference which quickly escalated into violence

'They rescinded permission,' he said. 'We fought them in federal court and we beat them in federal court. (But) it upended all our security arrangements.'

He also blamed the local police, who he said 'refused to do their job' and failed to 'follow through with security arrangements' that protected protesters and counter protesters.

He went on to 'condemn the violence yesterday' and said he 'would like to disavow any folks getting hurt' but he was quickly drowned out by the boos and jeers of the crowd.

At that moment, a man approached Kessler, shouting obscenities, while another anti-fascist protester began chanting that he had invited the white supremacist movement - one of whom had 'murdered' the woman.

Chants of 'indict for murder now' and 'he invited these people' got increasingly louder.

Suddenly the crowd closed in, and police surrounding the nationalist, rushed him away and brought him to a nearby police station as a voice was heard over the crowd, shouting 'We don't want a mob, we don't want a mob,'

As Kessler (seen leading a torch lit vigil Friday) was whisked away, many demanded to know why the police were protecting the white nationalists 'when they came to hurt us'

Suddenly the crowd moved in, swinging punches, tearing at his clothes, and tackling him to the ground.

State police - the very same that Kessler had blamed for failing to protect his First Amendment rights - closed in, surrounding the nationalist and rushed him away to safety. After they were unable to return to his car, they brought him to a nearby police station.

As he was taken away a voice was heard over the crowd, shouting 'We don't want a mob, we don't want a mob' as riot police blocked off journalists and counter protesters from following him.

While being escorted to safety, Kessler told reporters: 'I disavow any political violence and what happened yesterday was tragic.

'The denial of first amendment rights... led to the political violence that happened yesterday.



As Kessler was whisked away, many in the furious crowd demanded to know why the police were protecting the white nationalists 'when they came to hurt us.'

'Get them out of tour town,' others chanted.

The Dodge Challenger (pictured), which is registered to Fields, plowed into counter protesters, killing one woman and hospitalizing 19 others, as violence erupted at a rally where thousands of white nationalists gathered for an alt-right event in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday. Police said a total of 35 people were treated for injuries

People were heard screaming and crying in the aftermath of the smash, as blood was splattered on a car's windshield and victims were desperately calling out for medical help

And the violent skirmishes continued inside a local Charlottesville Waffle House on Sunday when an 'antifa' protester allegedly beat an alt-right marcher over the head with a sock full of batteries.

The alt-right marcher, who declined to give his name to DailyMail.com, was bleeding profusely from the head and holding a thick cloth against the side of his face around noon on Sunday with blood splattered over his shirt and khakis.

He and five friends who also participated in the Unite the Right rally stood outside the restaurant after the skirmish as he waited to be transported the hospital.

'Thank God it happened inside the restaurant because when we came out there was another six guys over there [in the parking lot],' one of the men told the DailMail.com.

James Alex Fields Jr (left and right), of Maumee, Ohio, was arrested on Saturday after he 'intentionally drove his vehicle into a crowd of anti-fascists at white nationalist rally, killing Heyer and injuring 19 others' in Charlottesville, Virginia

'It was attempted murder. We ran them out, said another man. 'It was assault with a deadly weapon.'

The injured man and his friends said they had been having breakfast at the restaurant when they were confronted by two 'antifa' counter-protesters who told them to 'get the f**k out of the Waffle House.'

He claimed the antifa group tried to mace him and his friends before hitting him in with a sock full of batteries.

The alleged assailants fled before county police arrived on the scene.

A police officer at the scene told DailyMail.com that authorities were still searching for the alleged assailants.
