Jason Kessler, the alt-right activist who organized the white supremacist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year where Heather Heyer was killed and is who is organizing a follow-up rally planned in August, has been experiencing a series of devastating setbacks.
Kesslers woes began when neo-Nazi Patrick Little lashed out at Kessler on Gab, a safe haven for white supremacists online, and said he would not attend Unite the Right 2 in spite of Kessler making court statements that he planned for Little to attend. Crying Nazi Christopher Cantwell has also taken to bashing Kessler and swearing off the anniversary rally, asserting that Kessler is completely incapable of handling this, and its way too fucking dangerous. In a blog post titled Follow Kessler At Your Peril, Cantwell wrote:
<snip>
The violent fascists helping Kessler organize the event were also the subject of a massive leak published by Unicorn Riot. The participants and messages from a Facebook group message in which multiple organizers discussed a security team staffed by Vanguard America and neo-nazi Hammerskins and inquiries about establishing contact with Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights (FOAK), which is the militarized offshoot of Gavin McInnes Proud Boys hate group.
Yesterday, Kessler withdrew his motion to order the city of Charlottesville to approve his permit to host the Unite the Right anniversary rally in the city. And now, even his white supremacist legal representation has abandoned Kessler.

for those in his vicinity.
As for his White Wing organizing role going away, I'm not sure he ever has had much of one.
It's a WOMP, WOMP from me for former neighbor Kessler's situation. He used to reside about a ten minute walk from where I sit, but he's hiding and/or out of town as far as we know.
