Star Wars actor Adam Driver is bringing his northern Indiana hometowns hate group history to light after saying Ku Klux Klan rallies were frequent during his childhood and that some of his neighbors were Klan members. The Mishawaka native made the comments during a USA Today interview about his role in the new movie BlacKkKlansman, the Indianapolis Star reported.
If anything, I was more aware of it as a kid growing up in Indiana, because there were always Klan rallies, like, every summer, Driver, 34, told USA Today. There were people in the Klan who were in our neighborhood.
Indiana University professor emeritus James Madison said he doesnt doubt that Driver was exposed to the KKK but doubts he saw many, if any, rallies.

Liar. Indiana is not racist and was a Union state in which thousands died to end slavery.

"...KKK rallies..."
There are likely less than one hundred KKK members in the entire country.
We are asked to believe this B-tier actor has seen many rallies? Liar.

My exact reaction. Pics, or at least contemporaneous newspaper stories, or it didn’t happen.
Otherwise, I say this is nothing more than Social Vengeance Warrior virtue-signalling lies.

The father of a friend of mine lived and Indiana and was racist. He was like every other racist I’ve known — a Democrat and labor union member. But, he died several years ago.
