History proves these people wrong categorically but they still keep coming out of the woodwork with their blatant lies about the Republican Party. The GOP was created nearly 2 centuries ago to end slavery, but racists in the Democrat Party will swear on a stack of Bibles that the GOP is nothing but a bunch of closet KKK members. It's pathetic to witness the ignorance of these people. This is the byproduct of years of false propaganda and conditioning on the Democrat plantation.

Those Republicans Are Members Of The KKK
On Wednesday's CNN Tonight, W. Kamau Bell claimed that white supremacy is the new ideology of the Republican Party: "If the Republican Party is a gumbo...the roux of that gumbo is white supremacy, and the core of that is the Ku Klux Klan." Bell later asserted that the Obama birther issue was when white supremacy supposedly became dominant in the GOP: "It came from the first four years of Barack Obama's presidency...where they allowed Donald Trump to demand the President show his birth certificate — and they just stood by and went, maybe he's not born here."

Host Don Lemon brought on the comedian to preview his upcoming CNN series, United Shades of America. Lemon first asked, "It's 2016. We're arguing about the KKK's role in the presidential election. Would you have ever thought — imagined that?" Bell bluntly replied, "With the direction the Republican Party's been going for the last few years, absolutely." The guest gave his "gumbo" answer when the anchor prompted him to explain why.
Lemon followed up by pointing out that "the leaders of the Republican Party...are disavowing anything to do with the Ku Klux Klan." He then wondered, "Are they saying that because they have to, or do you think that they believe that...and shouldn't you given some credit for that at least?" Bell replied, in part, by underlining that "they're also thinking about starting a new party, from what I understand — like, they are, in some way, acknowledging that the party has gotten out of their control."
The United Shades of America host raised the Obama birther issue later in the segment, and added, "They allowed that to happen, and this is the result of that. This is like the pimple coming home to roost."
Back in August 2015, Bell and Lemon made fun of the Iowa State Fair as "one of the whitest places in America." The comedian cracked that attendees of the fair were "taking pictures of me. I don't think it's because I'm famous. It's because I'm a black dude."
