"Those who monitor these types of extremist groups say their numbers are nowhere near where they were in their heyday in the 1920s, when they boasted nearly 5 million members. Levin says the Klan has a membership of about 5,000. The Southern Poverty Law Center gives a lower estimate of around 3,000."

Donald Trump Jr, the eldest son of the Republican presidential frontrunner and one of his political surrogates, has granted a 20-minute radio interview to a prominent white supremacist who broadcasts what has been dubbed as "the primary radio nexus of hate in America". The younger Trump will be featured as guest of honor in Saturday's broadcast of the Political Cesspool, a three-hour program that lists among its objectives, "to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races." The show is presented by James Edwards, an avowed white nationalist who is pro-slavery and whose previous guests include...

I hope to get some feedback concerning voters and their choice to vote their conscience. I'm not advocating any candidate but these questions are an attempt to resolve how anyone can support silencing another American's vote. The radical statements concerning David Duke on a radio show, promoting Trump and how news stations everywhere want to control how David Duke votes. It sounds weird when it's stated like that but Trump cannot control who votes for him just like no one can tell Trump who to vote for. While the media witch hunters are brandishing their forks and flaming torches, ready...

Just when you thought the Republican Establishment couldn’t sink any lower…. The GOP establishment is desperate — And they will run any smear they can against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump to take him out.

HERNANDO, Mississippi — The Senate GOP primary has been a wild ride, but few moments have been as wacky as this one. When a top Mississippi Democrat accused Lane “L.C.” Murray in a Facebook post of using shady tactics to help Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS)33% , Murray purportedly left a threatening voicemail to a Republican state senator who posted about the matter on Twitter. But in a phone interview, Murray, who was formerly a high-ranking member of the Ku Klux Klan, says he actually supports Cochran’s challenger, state senator Chris McDaniel, and isn’t backing Cochran at all. The saga began...

House Speaker Paul Ryan has been famously coy on his thoughts on the presidential race, evading questions from reporters on everything from Donald Trump’s meteoric rise to the possibility of a brokered convention. This morning, he broke that silence. Without naming names, Ryan blasted the Republican front-runner for his refusal to denounce the Ku Klux Klan and its former grand wizard David Duke, who has expressed his support for Trump. “If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican party, there can be no evasion and no games,” the speaker said from the podium at his weekly presser.

Media and the Republican establishment will continue their attempts to make Trump out to be a racist to secure a Clinton presidency in November The mainstream media has been obsessed over Donald Trump’s refusal to disavow the former Klu Klux Klan leader when interviewed on the weekend by CNN’s Jake Tapper. Trump did not disavow “Duke and the KKK” and later explained he had a faulty earpiece and did not hear the question properly. Tapper mentioned “other groups” and Trump said he would have to know the names of these groups so he can research them before he says whether...

Bill O’Reilly briefly weighed in on the Donald Trump KKK controversy and dismissed it out of hand.

On Sunday Donald Trump went on CNN and was asked once again about David Duke’s endorsement. Trump told Jake Tapper he didn’t know anything about David Duke or white supremacy. This sent shock waves across the liberal media and GOP establishment circles.

David Duke: "I did not endorse Donald Trump" Like the "Hands Up" MYTH and LIE, here it is again. In his own words: HERE

David Duke, a white nationalist and former Klu Klux Klan grand wizard, told his audience Wednesday that voting for anyone besides Donald Trump “is really treason to your heritage.” “Voting for these people, voting against Donald Trump at this point, is really treason to your heritage,” Duke said on the David Duke Radio Program. BuzzFeed News first reported the comments. Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/david-duke-trump-219777#ixzz41bXJPthx

Despite mounting criticism for Donald Trump’s failure to disavow former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke’s support, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton once heaped praise for late Klan leader Sen. Robert Byrd. In a video uploaded to the State Department’s official YouTube page on June 28, 2010, Clinton commemorated late Sen. Byrd by saying, “Today our country has lost a true American original, my friend and mentor Robert C. Byrd.” When Byrd was 24-years-old, he joined the Klan because he was worried that during World War II, he might have to fight alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest...

--SNIP-- Simply put, that's been a central part of almost every Republican presidential campaign and certainly many congressional races since Barry Goldwater became that party's presidential nominee in 1964. And those are campaign tactics, strategies and claims and arguments that have inculcated at least some portion of the entire electorate -- Republicans and Democrats alike -- with what are fundamentally racist, sometimes white supremacist ideas.

The White House today criticized Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump after he initially failed to clearly distance himself from controversial support by a former leader of the Knight s of the Ku Klux Klan. Over the weekend, Trump declined to disavow the support of former grand wizard David Duke, insisting he needed "to look at the group" first, despite being reminded of the former Louisiana lawmaker’s long association with the KKK. "Honestly, I don't know David Duke, I don't believe I've ever met him, I'm pretty sure I didn't meet him, and I just don't know anything about him," Trump...

"Fred Trump was marching in support of two Americans named Amoroso and Carisi who were Italian immigrants, and had been murdered on the streets by Anarchists, when Irish Catholic cops started beating the hell out of Protestant whites in religious hatred. The murderer arrested was Adamo Mastrangelo, again an Italian." "Look back to that year and you have 1927 and you will find decades of violence being unleashed in America by these Anarchists. The press spiked a lunatic to assassinate President Theodore Roosevelt as they did not like this outsider Republican. The Anarchist was code for MARXIST or COMMUNISTS."

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...

Donald Trump’s distinctive rhetorical style — think of a drunk with a bullhorn reading aloud James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake under water — poses an almost insuperable challenge to people whose painful duty is to try to extract clarity from his effusions. For example, last week, during a long stream of semi-consciousness in Fort Worth, this man who as president would nominate members of the federal judiciary vowed to “open up” libel laws to make it easier to sue — to intimidate and punish — people who write “negative” things. Well. Trump, the thin-skinned tough guy, resembles a campus crybaby who...
