Amazing.
As my NewsBusters colleague Curtis Houck colleague Curtis Houck headlined:
Election Interference: CNN Uses Audio of Private Briefing to Falsely Smear GOP’s Scott Perry
In which Curtis notes CNN’s Annie Grayer has a story based on audio of a private meeting involving, full disclosure, my very own Pennsylvania Congressman, Republican Scott Perry. In which it is alleged that “Perry told colleagues in a closed door briefing that:
The KKK in modern times, a lot of young people think somehow it’s a right-wing organization when it is the military wing of the Democratic Party. Decidedly, unabashedly, racist and antisemitic,” Perry said according to the recording.
Grayer added that “The KKK is not affiliated in any way with the modern Democratic Party.”
Grayer was not alone in flipping out at Perry’s remarks.

The hard historical fact, per, among many, Columbia University historian Eric Foner is that the KKK was in fact “a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.” University of North Carolina historian Allen Trelease’s description of the Klan was as the “terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.”
Indeed, the Klan was so tied to the Democrats that the party’s 1924 Convention in New York City has been dubbed the “Klanbake” because so many of the delegates were Klan members.
Not to mention Robert Byrd.
They can’t refute Robert Byrd was high up in the KKK org. Make them own it.
Some real history there no doubt the Republicans were Klan fighters in the old days as well in various towns and hamlets even in Scott Perry’s own congressional district here in York, PA.
Democratic Senator Byrd explained that he was a KKK member because he "was sorely afflicted with tunnel vision— a jejune and immature outlook—seeing only what I wanted to see because I thought the Klan could provide an outlet for my talents and ambitions".
Once a racist... Always a racist.
As the descendant of Southern Unionist Republicans who fought against the Confederacy I have no love whatsoever for the original Reconstruction-era Klan. However, in the interests of truth and honesty it must be understood that the ORIGINAL Reconstruction Klan was NOT anti-Semitic (or anti-Catholic) in the slightest. It even had Jewish and Catholic members (including Jefferson Davis’ personal [Jewish] physician Dr. Simon Baruch, the father of Bernard Baruch).
The KKK, always Democrat. They will do anything to keep the Blacks on the plantation.
He looked better in a white robe and his face covered. That way you couldn’t mistake the way he thought.
Even their own knew his history and suppressed it while alive.
No, many former racists have reformed. When you look at the black conservative talent that we have, who could be discriminatory? I’m thinking of David Harris, Jr., Dr. Thomas Sowell, Dr. Carol Swain, Horace Cooper, Leo Terrell, Jason Whitlock, Mark Robinson; it’s quite an impressive list.
One branch of m yfamily lived all over over the years - Maryland, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. My uncle always said the worst racists he ever met were in rural Pennsylvania. FWIW.
Antifa and BLM are the modern paramilitary arms of the Democrat Party.
Once an alcoholic... Always an alcoholic... Once a gambler... Always a gambler... Once a racist... Always a racist.
They can claim that they’re ‘reformed’, but there is no reformation for engrained behavior. These people were brought up hating, they continued to hate and while they may claim that they now don’t hate anymore... They are kidding themselves.
[[and while they may claim that they now don’t hate anymore... They are]]
They are lying through their tooth and everyone knows it- but still they lie as though facts don’t matter-
How does the existence of black conservatives tell us anything whatsoever about whether racist democrats “reformed?”
If any racist democrats had tried to renounce their racism, they would have been killed by the cabal before the story got out. Because the story itself would bring light to the intrinsic racism of democrats.
Right. Byrd was an Exalted Cyclops. So he wasn’t just in the KKK. He was the local KKK leader. And that’s not dusty, ancient history. Byrd has many friends and supporters who are influential in the Democrat Party even today.
The border regions were traditionally pre-1970 areas of conflict between Republicans and Democrats with the KKK in the picture.
Think Rush Limbaugh’s dad and grandfather in southeastern Missouri the Democrats were the cross burners in those parts and here in York County, PA just over the Maryland line similar conflicts.
In 1924 the Mayor of York City banned the Klan from marching they had to rally outside of town.
He also never completely broke himself of the habit of using the N-word. As he got older it slipped out more and Rat excuses for that got more creative.
Byrd tried to explain away his KKK membership by saying he only joined to further his political ambitions. But he’s on record for saying some extremely filthy and racist things, things not “required” to advance a political career.
I don’t want to give any examples here. They are too vile. But for the curious, see his letter to Theodore Bilbo in 1944. It’s no small thing. Once a filthy racist, always a filthy racist.

“Once a racist... Always a racist.”
And yet there are 50+ landmarks named after Byrd or his wife that were funded by taxpayers (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_places_named_after_Robert_Byrd), and yet the cancel culture remains silent.
The KKK is just one of a long list of democrat party terrorist organizations. Antifa, BLM, and now Hamas. The democrat party is evil.
