Missouri’s Republican party is trying to boot one of its members from running for governor after finding out he was an honorary member of the Ku Klux Klan — and even pictured throwing Nazi salutes in front of a burning cross.
“The Missouri Republican Party has been made aware that Darrell Leon McClanahan III filed for governor as a Republican despite his affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan, which fundamentally contradicts our party’s values and platform,” the state party posted on X Thursday.
“We have begun the process of having McClanahan removed from the ballot as a Republican candidate.
“We condemn any association with hate groups and are taking immediate action to rectify this situation,” the state GOP said, saying the party “upholds respect for all individuals.”
McClanahan was one of eight people who filed a petition this week to run in the Republican primary for governor.
He once described himself as a “pro-white man, horseman, political prisoner-activist who is dedicated to traditional Christian values” — and has been photographed with KKK leaders as well as throwing a Sieg Heil salute alongside a white-hooded Klansmen in front of a burning cross.
He also says that he has had “honorary memberships” in the Knight’s Party Ku Klux Klan and the League of the South, according to legal papers seen by the Riverfront Times.
“The Missouri GOP knew exactly who I am,” he tweeted in reply to the initial statement.
“I’ve received several death threats today,” he said, making uncorroborated claims about other party members and claiming party leaders knew he “was a Christian identist,” which the Southern Poverty Law Center calls “an antisemitic, racist theology” where only white people are the favored by God.
“Again, I will state the GOP knew exactly who I am. What a bunch of Anti-White hypocrites.”

Yep....another DEM plant!
BRYD was a REAL KKK!! And one of BIDEN’S BEST FRIENDS!! DON”T FORGET that Delaware was a SLAVE STATE!! MUST BE STILL A SLAVE STATE!
Look who David Duke is a fan of....
David Duke praises Rep. Ilhan Omar
Maybe he just signed up to run in the wrong party. Democrats founded the KKK.
He’d fit in better with the Democrats if he really was in the KKK.
Anybody can register as a Republican. Or a Democrat.
Anybody can file the papers to run.
The NYPost story is working hard to imply a linkage between this clown and the party. Why, he even got a receipt when he sent in his filing fee!!!!
I guess the dems have worked up their talking point.
Who knows. But clearly he thinks is 1840. Quite a dirtbag.
No one in their right mind would do this! Cosplay in action? Trying to pull the wool over our eyes? 👀
He ran in the GOP Senate primary in ‘22 and got 9 votes

Former Louisiana House Representative David Duke (R) got 68% of the White vote in Louisiana when he ran for governor against Democrat Edwin Edwards.
Byrd was my first thought, too.
Democrats do this every election, taking advantage of the fact that political parties cannot prejudicially choose who joins them. The last time it was some kook in Illinois who ran for a GOP spot that was open in a Democrat controlled district because there were no resident GOP members who wanted to “waste time” running for a seat that was going to go Democrat whether there is competition or not.
Unfortunately, defeatist mentalities are 100% guaranteed ways to be defeated. And, they don’t even wear down your opponents by making them go through the motions and at least pretend to run.
FIB plant or democrat party operative. Now we will hear all about the “white rage nazi” just in time for the current talking points.
1. Ownership of the means of production.
2. Fascism lost WW II and Socialism didn't, so Socialism gets better press.
3. The Nazi's had snazzier outfits than the Soviets or more recently, the Chinese and Koreans.
Are you saying he forgot to wash up after the cross burning?🤪
Ding ding ding, we have a winner! It fits right in to Biden’s smear that repubs are nazis and KKK.
Even though the RAT party is the Party off KKK.
