The Ku Klux Klan,
commonly called the KKK or simply the Klan and commonly misspelled
as the Klu Klux Klan, refers to three distinct secret movements at
different points in time in the history of the
United States. Each has advocated
extremist
reactionary positions such as
white supremacy,
white nationalism,
anti-immigration and—especially in later iterations—Nordicism[7][8]
and
anti-Catholicism. Historically, the KKK used
terrorism—both
physical assault and murder—against groups or individuals whom they opposed.[9]
All three movements have called for the "purification" of
American society and all are considered
right-wing extremist organizations.[10][11][12][13]
In each era, membership was secret and estimates of the total were highly
exaggerated by both friends and enemies.

February 28:
On the Sunday morning talk shows,
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump refused to condemn
endorsements from a prominent white supremacist and former KKK leader, and said
he retweeted a Mussolini quote because "it's a very good quote."

February 29: Newspaper
clips obtained by VICE suggest the Republican frontrunner's father may have worn
the robe and hood of a Klansman in 1927.
... the New York Times
asked Donald Trump about the possibility that his father had been arrested
at a Klan event. The younger Trump denied it all, telling interviewer Jason
Horowitz that "it never happened" four times. When Horowitz asked if his father
had lived at 175-24 Devonshire Road—the address listed for the Fred Trump
arrested at the 1927 Klan rally—Donald dismissed the claim as "totally false."
Biographical records confirm that the Trump family did live on Wareham Place in
Queens in the 1940s,
when Donald was a kid. But according to at least one archived newspaper
clip, Fred Trump also lived at 175-24 Devonshire Road: A wedding announcement in
the January 22, 1936 issue of the Long Island Daily Press,places Fred
Trump at that address, and refers to his wife as "Mary MacLeod," which is Donald
Trump's mother's maiden name.
... three additional newspaper clips unearthed by VICE contain separate accounts
of Fred Trump's arrest at the May 1927 KKK rally in Queens, each of which seems
to confirm the Times account of the events that day. While the clips
don't confirm whether Fred Trump was actually a member of the Klan, they do
suggest that the rally—and the subsequent arrests—did happen, and did involve
Donald Trump's father, contrary to the candidate's denials. A fifth article
mentions the seven arrestees without giving names, and claims that all of the
individuals arrested—presumably including Trump—were wearing Klan attire.

For Mitt Romney and the GOP, Trump’s KKK controversy is the last straw.
The hotelier is embroiled in a scandal over whether
he is willing to disavow the Ku Klux Klan, whose former grand wizard, David
Duke, told supporters recently that a vote against Trump was “treason to your
heritage.”
Asked to renounce the white supremacist group on CNN’s State of the Union
Sunday, Trump told Jake Tapper, “I don’t know anything about what you’re even
talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists.” Appearing on Today
this morning, Trump tried to blame his comments on a “lousy earpiece.”

Why Racists Like Trump
Donald Trump will never own up to just why racists and white supremacists

One outspoken anti-racist has an explanation: Trump speaks to the issues that
America’s white supremacists care about.

November 1: Donald Trump Gets Coveted Ku
Klux Klan Endorsement
While Donald Trump may be suffering from a lack of endorsements—even reviled
Republicans such as Wisconsin Gov.
Scott Walker accidentally gave Hillary the thumbs up—he will be undoubtedly
thrilled to learn he has received a glowing endorsement from one of his biggest
supporters... the Ku Klux Klan.
Not all Donald Trump supporters are white supremacists, but all white
supremacists appear to be Donald Trump supporters. The Ku Klux Klan gave their
blessing, officially endorsing Donald Trump on the front page of their latest
newspaper edition.

Trump denounces KKK, neo-Nazis as

What Donald Trump didn't say when he
talked about white supremacists
Trump's comments came after two days of immense public pressure that he
forcefully condemn white supremacists who gathered for a rally at which the
counterprotester was killed. He decried racism as "evil" and said that "those
who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs."
Much of the commentary focused on the timing of the statement and why Trump
didn't specifically condemn racist hate groups immediately rather than waiting
for several days. Yet the statement also lacked one powerful -- and critical --
component: Trump failed to specifically reject support of the white
nationalists, racists and bigots who say they back him.

Magazine covers link President Trump to
KKK over Charlottesville
You probably won't find these magazine
covers hanging on walls at President Trump's country clubs.
The Economist and The New Yorker released their cover
illustrations this week, both depicting Trump in conjunction with Ku Klux Klan
hoods. The Economist shows the president using a white hood as a
megaphone and The New Yorker has him at the helm of a sailboat
powered by a sail in the shape of a KKK hood. Trump is seen blowing into it.
The covers result from Trump's controversial remarks about the
deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend. The
subsequent car rampage resulted in the death of a woman, Heather Heyer, and
injured 19 others. Trump, in remarks to reporters this week, restated his
initial belief that "many
sides" engaged in violence.

November 29: Former Ku Klux Klan leader
David Duke professed his love of Donald Trump after the president re-tweeted
Wednesday morning several videos that appear to show Muslim men destroying
Christian relics and assaulting non-Muslim men. Duke praised Trump for sharing
the three videos, claiming the mainstream media wouldn't show them.
“Trump retweets video of a crippled white kid in Europe being beaten by
migrants, and white people being thrown off a roof and then beaten to death,
He's condemned for showing us what the fake news media WON'T. Thank God for
Trump! That's why we love him!” Duke wrote on Twitter.

July 20: Charlotte City Council member
compared Trump supporters to Ku Klux Klan before RNC announcement
A Democratic member, Larken Egleston, cast the deciding vote in favor of hosting
the convention but voiced opposition to President Trump.
“I will not combat the disappointing characteristics of this president by
emulating them,” Egleston said. “Hosting the RNC in Charlotte in no way implies
our endorsement of this president.”
But another Democrat on the council who voted against bringing the RNC to
Charlotte denounced Trump as “dangerous” and compared his supporters to the Ku
Klux Klan.
