(CHALOTTESVILLE – WINA)   A woman who’s frequently at odds with “Unite the Right” figures says she’s leaving Charlottesville and relocating outside the United States.  Emily Gorcenski has scolded the City Council for ignoring warnings she gave last summer.  She has publicized boasts by active duty members of the military who say they were in Charlottesville last summer.

Gorcenski has also highlighted a letter that Minnesota Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison has written to the Secretary of Defense.   Councilman Mike Signer was Charlottesville’s Mayor last summer, and he’s apologized to Gorcenski.
