Bryan Zollinger, who serves the states 33rd District, took to Facebook over the weekend and shared an article that suggests a cabal of liberals may have staged the conflict to smear President Trump.

The author writes, in part, What if [Charlottesville Mayor Michael] Signer and [Virginia Governor Terry] McAuliffe, in conjunction with Antifa and other Soros-funded groups like Black Lives Matter, planned and orchestrated what happened in Charlottesville and meant for events to unfold roughly as they did?

In a comment accompanying the link to the article, Zollinger notes that he does not fully back the theory, butsayshe finds it completely plausible.

He also applauds the writer for asking people to think for themselves and use some logic and reason

PBSnotes that the violence in Charlottesville resulted in numerous injuries and three deaths; two state troopers died in a nearby helicopter crash, and one woman was fatally injured when a car sped into a crowd of people.
