Police say no incidents happened at the rally.

Mayor Mike Signer tweeted at the protesters, saying "Another despicable video by Neo-Nazi cowards. You're not welcome here! Go home!"

The rally lasted under 10 minutes.

Police officers from the City of Charlottesville then escorted a tour bus carrying the protesters out of the city to ensure they left the area.
