Virginia's governor has ripped into the "white supremacists and the Nazis" who took part in a far-right rally in Charlottesville.
Far-right activists organised the event on Friday to protest against Charlottesville's plans to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E Lee from the city.
But it turned ugly, as mass brawls broke out between them and anti-fascists, with people throwing punches, hurling water bottles and using pepper spray as riot police were deployed.
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe said: "I have a message to all the white supremacists and the Nazis who came into Charlottesville today.
"Our message is plain and simple: Go home.
"You are not wanted in this great commonwealth.
"Shame on you.
"You pretend that you are patriots but you are anything but a patriot."
