Rally and Counter-Protest (03:25)

Police are as worried about the far left as the far right. Brandy Campbell is a member Redneck Revolt, a leftist group that describes its views as anti-fascist, anti-racist, and anti-capitalist. Matthew Heimbach wants to create a whites-only homeland in the U.S.

Counter-protesters taunt the white nationalists. Heimbach’s goal is to normalize racism; he claims a propaganda victory. His group brawls with a mixed-race couple after the rally.

Armed Antifa Activists (04:16)

March heads to Durham, North Carolina to meet members of Redneck Revolt who say their goal is to be a broad community support group. They run food banks and provide first aid training, and are committed to armed self-defense.
