"The family of one of the participants in Saturday’s white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, says they are disowning him.

Pete Tefft of Fargo, North Dakota, is one of the Charlottesville marchers whose photo was posted on @YesYoureRacist, a Twitter account that calls out racist behavior and attitudes.

In February, Tefft described himself to a reporter as “100 percent pro-white.”
