Crazy Daily Stormer editor suggesting Fields is Jewish, was actually at rally to "fight Nazis"

Yesterday there were various tweets saying the driver was someone else, identified as anti-Trump and a leftist.

And there was the predictable wacko conspiracy theory from Alex Jones, suggesting the violence was a false flag operation designed to lead to martial law being imposed and conservatives being suppressed. Uh-huh.

But late last night the most delusional denial yet of the neo-nazi responsibility for this terrorist attack was coming from the Daily Stormer (no, I won't post a link to that sewer), whose editor latches on to the idiocy that because Fields's mother's last name is Bloom, and the name Bloom is "almost exclusively" Jewish, and besides, the moron editor thinks Fields "looks Jewish":

It looks to me as though he was probably Jewish, and going there to fight Nazis, but is insane and didn’t know who he was crashing into. I just think if he was in any way associated with the Alt-Right, they would have found that information immediately and posted it.

His Mother confirmed that he was a Trump supporter and told her he was going to an alt-right demonstration. She's just surprised to find out he was a Nazi.

bunch of those alt right people carrying shields. He probably also has an account on the DS and C--out and a bunch of racist sites.

These horrible people want genocide of non whites but then also lie and dissociate themselves from any murderers. This guy was one of them full stop.

any inconvenient fact is a 'false flag.' Deflecting blame and/or accountability while claiming 'the other side' is either to blame or equally responsible is a tried and true propaganda tool.

These loathsome thugs are not very original.
