Racism reportedly runs in the family, when it comes to the Trump Klan.

Trump’s late father, Fred Trump, was arrested following a Ku Klux Klan riot in Queens in 1927, according to a bombshell report that further suggests unusual ties between the 2016 front-runner and the notorious white supremacist group.

Fred Trump Sr. was among seven men arrested following a May 30, 1927 brawl between members of the KKK and the New York Police Department, according to The Washington Post, which unearthed news articles from the June 1, 1927 edition of The New York Times.

The elder Trump’s role in the brawl was unclear, The Post reported, and there is no proof in the report that he was a member of the KKK.

I think Jim should let this one run. It will identify the Freepers who are truly infected with TDS.

Guilt by association is a perfect argument to motivate a dumbed-down population.

The same thing happened with Ron Paul. I really think that Duke is some sort or gun-for-hire, willing to endorse an opponent for the highest bidder. Seriously.

Isn’t it amazing what the MSM can come up with when they want to destroy a candidate?

Obama’s passport, college transcripts, financial aid, social security number, Father’s whereabouts during the time of his mom’s pregnancy and birth - nope, all lost to time!

Well, the “Trump is Hitler” meme didn’t work, so now they are trying “Trump is KKK”.

That won’t work either.

Once things got sorted out at the police station, he was released in being innocent.

That is until some Donald Trump haters decided to dig this story up and through innuendo and conjecture create a smear on the Trump family.

Fred Trump was standing for America and was attacked in the same way his son, Donald, is standing for America, and being smeared and attacked by the same goon thugs. 1927 and 2016 prove that nothing have changed, and how much America needs Donald Trump in the White House.

“I really think that Duke is some sort or gun-for-hire, willing to endorse an opponent for the highest bidder.”

And you are correct. He does this every election, and every election the Press use him to attack the Republican. My guess a nice little check was deposited into his account.

I can’t say I care about what someone’s father did in 1927.

I would also note that this was a battle between the KKK and Italian Fascists, which are not exactly a quality group of people.
