The below picture was taken during the 1924 Democratic Convention.

It was also known as “Klanbake.”

In Madison Square Garden, New York City, from June 24 to July 9, a dispute during came up revolving around an attempt by non-Klan delegates, led by Forney Johnston of Alabama, to condemn the organization for its violence in the Democratic Party’s platform.

But Klan delegates defeated the platform plank in a series of floor debates.

To celebrate, tens of thousands of hooded Klansmen rallied in a field in New Jersey, across the river from New York City. This event, known subsequently as the “Klanbake”, was also attended by hundreds of Klan delegates to the convention, who burned crosses, urged violence and intimidation against African Americans and Catholics, and attacked effigies of Smith.

The final vote was 546.15 for the Klan, 542.85 against it.

The running joke in federal law enforcement is that every third guy at a Klan meeting is an undercover FBI agent, or paid informant.

Gotta wonder how much time and money the bureau spends keeping tabs on the Klan while ISIS operatives stroll across the border and plan...

A clear, sobering appraisal of the world-wide impact Obama has left Trump, Israel, Japan’s Abe’s, the UK’s May, and Putin to clean up!

Not 1 in 50 democrats knows the history of the Dem party. Not 1 in 50.

I'd be willing to bet not 1 in 50 Democrats care. The only people who care about the Democrat's KKK past are Conservatives.

The Democrat party is fueled by utopian liberal fascism and exploitation of the ever changing categories of their self defined, so called victims of history.

Thanks.

Trump should tweet this.
Bannon should do a big deal on this and perhaps OANN.

Liberals has been for some time an oxymoron.
‘Marxist Scum’ works better.
