Christopher Cantwell, one of the white supremacists featured in a Vice News documentary about the Charlottesville neo-Nazi rally that went viral, was seen in a video posted to YouTube sobbing over the possibility that he might be arrested.

With tears in his eyes, Cantwell said: ‘I called the Charlottesville Police Department... and I said, 'I have been told that there’s a warrant out for my arrest'.

‘They said that they wouldn’t confirm it but that I could find this out if I wanted to go a local magistrate or something.’

Cantwell became even more emotional in the five-minute clip, saying: 'If I have to go to jail today, it won't be the first time...I don't want to, I don't think I should...I've been engaged in violence... and I've done nothing to hide that, but it was done in defense of myself and others.'

The YouTube video was posted on Saturday, one day before Vice News published its documentary in which Cantwell is heard making overtly racist statements and threatening violence.

Cantwell told Digg on Wednesday that while there is no actual warrant for his arrest, he thinks that the Charlottesville Police Department has ‘a list of people to round up.’

Cantwell said he learned of this ‘list’ after he spoke to someone who is a ‘higher up government official.’

He told Digg that the video was originally posted in a Facebook livestream, but his account was subsequently disabled.

'Everybody is going through extraordinary lengths to make sure we are not heard,' Cantwell said in criticizing Facebook for its decision to remove his account.

Cantwell said that he was carrying a pistol and had been going to the gym and was trying 'make myself more capable of violence'

Cantwell said that his accounts on PayPal, Instagram, and other online services have also been shut down.

Though Cantwell told Vice that he was ‘not non-violent,’ he told Digg: "I don't want violence, I want a more peaceful society."

He then added that he was ‘willing to use violence to stop’ those who disrupt the peace – a reference to minorities.

Cantwell also repeated his belief that the suspect who drove a car into a crowd of anti-fascist protesters and killed one woman was acting in self-defense.

He also praised President Donald Trump for his remarks to the media at Trump Tower on Tuesday, saying ‘he did a pretty good job.’

Cantwell said he appreciated Trump’s statements suggesting that liberals sought to remove statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

While he was unhappy with Trump because he 'doesn't agree with us on the racial stuff,' Cantwell said that the president will 'prevent us from falling to communism.'

'We have interests that overlap because we want to save the country,' Cantwell said.

In the Vice News documentary, Cantwell said he was disgusted that the president 'let a Jew steal his daughter'.

He said he was hoping for a leader 'a lot more racist' and 'capable' of violence than President Trump to help the movement spread their racist ideals.

'Somebody like Donald Trump, who does not give his daughter to a Jew,' he said, in a documentary on last weekend's deadly march in Virginia.

'I don't think you could feel the way I do about race, and watch that Kushner bastard walk around with that beautiful girl.'

The Unite the Right speaker was discussing his belief that white people were less inclined to 'get in trouble' than people of color. When reminded about multiple atrocities carried out by white suspects, including the Oklahoma City bombing, he conceded that everyone is capable of violence.

'Of course we're capable,' added Cantwell who was heavily armed with multiple handguns, assault rifles and a knife at the rally. 'I'm carrying a pistol, I go to the gym all the time.

'I'm trying to make myself more capable of violence. I'm here to spread ideas, talk, in the hopes that somebody more capable will come along and do that.' 

It was not clear whether Cantwell was referring to his hopes for a more capable leader, or a leader more capable of violence. 

The Vice documentary then moved on to filming Cantwell, of Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, at the rally itself moments after he was maced 'by communists.'

'We're here obeying the law, were doing everything were supposed to do trying to express opinions and the criminals are over there getting their way,' the Unite the Right spokesman said, pouring milk over his face.

'That's a foundational problem in our society and whatever you think of my opinion, that is something that is going to put you in danger,' added a clearly furious Cantwell, who claimed it was the second time he'd been maced in two days.

An associate of the co-organizer blamed it on the city being run by 'Jewish communists' and 'n****rs.'

When asked by the Vice reporter, if that meant the white nationalist movement was presenting itself as the only non-violent activist group, Cantwell openly admitted they would use violence or would even kill the opposition if necessary.

'I'm not even saying we're not violent, I'm saying f***ing we did not aggress, we did not initiate force against anybody.

'We're not non-violent. We'll f***ing kill these people if we have to.'

A writer for neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, which has recently lost its domain registration after a highly offensive, click-bait article about rally victim Heather Heyer, told Vice the rally represented the rapidly growing white supremacist movement.

'We're starting to slowly unveil a little bit of our power level,' said neo-Nazi Robert 'Azzmador' Ray. 'We're stepping off the internet in a big way. 

'You ain't seen nothing yet.' 

Saturday's violent rally culminated in the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer after white nationalist James Fields Jr, of Maumee, Ohio, plowed his vehicle into the crowd, killing her and injuring 19 others.

Yet Cantwell said the rally was 'worth it' and that he even considered it a win for his side. 

'The fact that nobody on our side died I would go ahead and call that points for us,' he said. 'The fact that none of our people killed anyone unjustly, I think is a plus for us. We showed our rivals we won't be cowed.'

The white supremacist even predicted that 'a lot more people are going to die before we're done here.'  

'People die every day,' he added. 'People die violent deaths all the time. That's part of the reason we want an ethno-state, the blacks are killing each other in staggering numbers. These people want violence, and the riot is just meeting market demand.'

When confronted about his claim that Heyer's death was 'more than justified', Cantwell claimed that someone had struck Fields Jr.'s car and 'he saw no way to get way from them except to hit the gas.'

'Sadly because our rivals are a bunch of stupid animals that don't pay attention, they couldn't just get out of the way of his car, and some people got hurt, and that's unfortunate.'

He even praised his supporters for their 'outstanding' restraint during the rally, adding the event would be 'tough to top.' 

The incident was condemned by politicians on both sides of the aisle, including Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz who called it an 'act of domestic terrorism' and Republican John McCain who called white supremacists 'traitors' to their country. 

But President Trump came under fire after he failed to condemn the white supremacist and nationalist groups, instead laying blame on 'many sides.'

'We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides,' he said.

Despite growing calls from all sides to call out the nationalist groups at the Unite the Right rally, the president on Tuesday chose to defend elements of the far-right protest during an extraordinary and angry defense of his performance in the wake of the Charlottesville riots in a confrontation with the press at Trump Tower.

He lashed out at his critics following a botched response to the weekend's Charlottesville murder, insisting that a violent 'alt-left' mob came to protests ready for war but a dishonest news media is shielding them from blame.

He even defended some in the far-right protest, claiming some were 'fine people' protesting against the removal of Confederate symbols.

Ivanka and Jared had reportedly been among those pushing Trump to denounce the neo-Nazis and white nationalists, and the pair - who are frequently seen at the president's side - were noticeably absent during his Tuesday press conference.

The couple, and their two kids, are believed to still be on vacation in Vermont.
