CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WHSV/AP) — The remaining two California men accused of violently attacking counterprotesters at the deadly "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to riot.
An image released by the FBI showing members of the Rise Above Movement attending the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017, including Benjamin Daley, Michael Miselis, Thomas Gillen and Cole White.

Benjamin Drake Daley, 26, and Michael Paul Miselis, 30, members of the Rise Above Movement, a white supremacist group, entered their guilty pleas on Friday in U.S. District Court, where they admitted traveling to rallies in California and Virginia with the purpose of committing acts of violence.

Daley is described by prosecutors as one of the founders of the hate group and the chief organizer of their presence in Charlottesville at the "Unite the Right" rally in 2017.

Four members of the group were charged last October. In addition to Daley and Miselis, the other two were Cole Evan White and Thomas Gillen.
