I think this is a function of not wanting to undermine the Trump campaign.”

It's a bogus "endorsement". The man has been effusive in his support of Trump and suddenly he changes to Clinton because it is perceived--correctly--that the KKK's enthusiastic support for Trump is not playing well in the country at large.

But perhaps that is too nuanced for a Trump supporter to understand.
lmao..."doesn't appear"..Whatever. She has a history of coddling KKK members. It's well known. The Dem party as a whole have a history of that.

Occasionally, though, we'll address this posting of what someone else, and not Clinton in any way shape or form, has done.........but solely in order to mock the poster of said drivel. That would be you.
The Dems accepted TWO high ranking KKK members into their party with open arms. HRC is photographed hugging at least one of them.

That is true of the old Democratic party, before all the bigots who made the Democratic party racist fled to the GOP following the Civil Rights movement and Nixon's successful Southern strategy. But you already knew that. It's just one of those inconvenient facts you find necessary to ignore because you can't deny it.

Meanwhile, Trump used the KKK's endorsement to win Southern votes a mere month ago. Nothing nuanced or ancient history about that, but that you will overlook.

David Duke said he never endorsed him. So there goes your theory. Shall we dig up the pics of HRC hugging and kissing Robert Byrd?

And how would our self-righteous "progressives" showed up at appearance by Queen Hillary? -- and continuously played a recording of a braying ass at maximum volume? Turn-about is only fair play?

Top Black Lives Matter Activist: ‘We Will Incite Riots Everywhere if Trump Wins’ » Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Please tell me again how BLM is a peaceful and non racist organization...
Why isn't this being treated as a terrorist threat?..
I think we have a couple of them posting on this thread... hopefully they get their piece of the action when the time comes, if you know what I mean.

WaPo has long since stopped being a respectable newspaper. It has now become a fish wrap. We gave up your subscription over 10 years ago. They don't even pretend to be impartial these days.

That said, in the article, she wrote that she was thinking about her ancestors and that gave her courage to disrupt the rally. How would disrupting the rally and acting like an idiot do her ancestors any good?

How does Trump pretending that he doesn't know who Duke or the KKK is, and claiming he has to "study" on it, at least until after the Southern states had their primary, debunk anything? He said it, and he waited until the votes were cast before he disavowed Duke and the KKK. That's not a "theory" that's what happened. And it happened last month, not a decade ago. Facts are a might inconvenient thing, huh?

Sure. Let's. And let's also make sure we include this:

In an interview in 2005 right before his book was published, Byrd said this:

"I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times...and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...se-david-duke/

Byrd renounced the KKK more than a decade ago. Trump used them to get votes a mere month ago. And that's no "theory" that's fact.

Many Americans of all races are enamored with Martin Luther King as a symbol of leadership and what real movements look like. Black lives matter - no offense, is a leaderless movement and it starts looking and sounding meaningless.
