On Monday, students at Indiana University Bloomington mistook a priest for a Klu Klux Klan member, taking to social media to express their fear of the alleged Klansman, who they claimed was carrying a whip, and dressed in “white robes.”

Just had FoxNews on for the second showing of Kelly's show. She is actually defending Byrd's involvement in the KKK by saying 'well, he was young'.

For decades, blues musician Daryl Davis has been raising eyebrows with his unconventional hobby: befriending and converting bigoted members of the Ku Klux Klan, whose white hoods he symbolically collects along the way. “I try to bring out the humanity in people,” he told The Daily Beast following the SXSW premiere of Accidental Courtesy, a documentary about Davis and his unorthodox methods that sparked provocative Q&As at the festival. Sitting down to chat in Austin, Texas, flanked by director Matthew Ornstein and ex-KKK member Scott Shepherd, Davis smiled warmly. “We all are human beings at the end of the day.” The...

Hillary Clinton is working hard to consolidate support during a tougher-than-expected Democratic primary, but there's one backer she may wish to back away from: a Ku Klux Klan grand dragon. "We want Hillary Clinton to win," Will Quigg, the grand dragon of the KKK's California chapter, said during an interview with The Telegraph. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump was recently criticized for a perceived reticence to disavow the endorsement of former KKK leader David Duke. Trump has since clearly disavowed Duke's vote of confidence. Clinton has yet to be asked about Quigg's endorsement. Quigg bases his support on his belief that...

A Ku Klux Klan grand dragon endorsed Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this week, saying he switched his support to her from Republican candidate Donald Trump because he likes her “hidden agenda.”“We want Hillary Clinton to win,” Will Quigg, a grand dragon of the mostly defunct Klan’s California chapter, told The Telegraph in a Monday article. “She is telling everybody one thing, but she has a hidden agenda. She’s telling everybody what they want to hear so she can get elected, because she’s Bill Clinton’s wife, she’s close to the Bushes. Once she’s in the presidency, she’s...

If Donald Trump is ambivalent about the Ku Klux Klan and other fringe groups he has been linked with, he can rest assured that — for some, at least — the feeling is mutual. […] Will Quigg, a grand dragon of the Klan’s California chapter and responsible for recruitment in the western United States, is less keen to give Mr. Trump the dubious benefit of his support. “We want Hillary Clinton to win,” Mr. Quigg told The Telegraph. “She is telling everybody one thing, but she has a hidden agenda. She’s telling everybody what they want to hear so she...

On February 29, 2016, New York Times reporters Amy Chozick and Patrick Healy provided an insider analysis of the Clinton team's plan to defeat Donald Trump. Citing interviews with "more than two dozen" Clinton insiders, including several who spoke directly to Bill Clinton, the article reported on a series of emergency meetings Clinton supporters convened to respond to Donald Trump's February 20 victory in South Carolina and his February 23 win in Nevada. The article reported that Bill Clinton and others argued against those inclined to underestimate Trump "that Mr. Trump clearly had a keen sense of the electorate’s mood...

Liberals live in a fantasy world. It is a world of ideas based on zero facts and warped emotions. It is a world of wishful thinking, not reality. Here are some classic liberal fantasies of past and present: If we dismantle all of our nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union will too. It was Gorbachev who ended the Cold War, not Reagan. Two bombs a day, really does keep ISIS away. Women can be Navy SEALs. Bernie Sanders will give Millennials free tuition, I Phones and razors to trim their Taliban beards. And, the latest leftist fantasy wafting through the mainstream...

As Super Tuesday approached and it became clear that Donald Trump would dominate the day, desperation set in among his enemies. Those who have power and aspire to gain more had to face that truth and they responded in an ugly way. Knowing it was false, they spread the lie that Trump welcomed the support of David Duke the Grand Moron of the Klu Klux Klan. They knew Trump had thoroughly rejected Duke’s support last August. They knew there was “no there, there;” but they pushed the lie anyway. Desperate people will do desperate things. They know Trump is on...

NEW ORLEANS (CNN) - More than two dozen protesters chanting "black lives matter" disrupted Donald Trump's rally here on Friday, linking arms and resisting security personnel trying to eject them from the venue. The protests come after a week of intense scrutiny directed at Trump after the Republican presidential front-runner was asked to disavow the support of former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke and several white supremacist groups. Trump declined to disavow Duke's support and that of white supremacist groups, including the KKK, during a CNN interview on Sunday, but later tweeted his rejection of Duke, a position...

Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has probably done more for minorities in an hour than Hillary Clinton has during the entirety of her corrupt and unethical life. In fact, part of Clinton’s unethical lifestyle is reflected in her duplicitous reaction to former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke’s endorsement of Trump, by making incriminating remarks towards the GOP front-runner. The hypocrisy comes from the praises she heaped upon the late Sen. Robert Bryd — a KKK participant and recruiter. The first words uttered from Clinton’s mouth in this newly discovered video said it all: “Today our country has lost a true...

he Washington Post's obsession over Donald Trump is a sight to behold — but not a pretty one. On Monday, following two week-earlier Trump-demonizing columns, one comparing the billionaire to medieval emperor Charlemagne, and another claiming that Trump's electoral progress thus far had helped her understand "exactly how Hitler could have come to power in Germany," the Post issued a house editorial directly comparing Trump's "assault on democracy" to Hitler's rise to power. In other words, last week's columns were merely appetizers for the paper's institutional assertion that, as far as they're concerned, the "authoritarian" Trump should be rejected because of the likelihood...

A Philadelphia high schooler says she was humiliated after her teacher told her to lose her Gov. Mitt Romney T-shirt comparing it to “wearing a KKK shirt.” Samantha Pawlucy, a 16-year-old sophomore at Charles Carroll High School in the Port Richmond section of the city, says she wore a pink Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan T-shirt last Friday during the school's dress down day.

"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...
