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.
Even their own knew his history and suppressed it while alive.
Antifa and BLM are the modern paramilitary arms of the Democrat Party.
The KKK is just one of a long list of democrat party terrorist organizations. Antifa, BLM, and now Hamas. The democrat party is evil.
Not to mention that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had 100% OF DEMOCRATS VOTING AGAINST IT.

Also, FDR-nominated Supreme Court justice Hugo Black was former KKK before he got into federal government.

In 1865, the Democrat party hated Blacks, Republicans, Catholics and Jews.
Fast forward 160 years.
Now, the Democrat party hates Blacks, Republicans, Catholics and Jews.
See, see the difference?
I watched the whole video.
That was an incredible speech.
Let them freak; let’s cause them to vapor lock by finding him a high-profile job in the Trump admin.
He deserves it.
There must be a few dozen of the KLUKKERS left around somewhere!
I just tell them to google the word “Klanbake”
