If you want more info, this video describes the whole story pretty decently.

YouTube comments and a video unironically saying that he can't hate NeoNazi's because his son in law is Jewish is your retort?
We lived in the area at the time, had close family working in the downtown mall in Cville that day, and we all followed the events leading up to that day, during the day and after in real time.
The video describes the rally as a pro statue/anti statue rally where white supremacists showed up. That couldn't be further from the truth. This was a white supremacist rally and they chose Charlottesville as the site since they were removing a Robert E Lee statue. It's not even a very significant statue. It was a small statue off tucked behind the main streets.
Richard Spencer and David Duke were the primary organizers. These were the materials used to promote the event:
The people in the rally were all from out of town white supremacist groups. The protesters were mostly locals who didn't want these people in their city, and a handful of out of town groups.
Trump coming on and angrily calling out both sides and saying there are very fine people on both sides was despicable and he was unequivocally siding with the unite the Right groups. Groups that included the Nationalist Front, KKK, The Daily Stormer, The Right Stuff, Proud Boys, and on.
Yeah, he tried to backpedal a bit by saying he condemned Neo Nazis. But who were the very fine people in the Unite the Right rally?
