However, the GOP did not start the Klan, nor did they have a long institutional relationship with the klan. The democrats DID. Duke is an aberration in the GOP, whereas, it was once the norm in the democrat party. However, whenever the rare Republican, like Duke, is mentioned, his party affiliation is always mentioned. When it is a democrat, the silence is deafening. THAT was my point and I was not surprised to discover that this man is a democrat.
I don't believe that the democrats currently support the klan, but there is no reason to hide the longstanding historical - and institutional - racism that exists in the dem party.
