Which candidate does the KKK really support? Here's what the experts say
Last month a report
emerged that one KKK leader was backing Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. Will Quigg, who claimed to be a Grand Dragon in a California branch of the KKK, said that he was a prominent backer of Clinton's.
But upon close examination, those claims appeared to be doubtful at best.

and look at this guy
J. William Fulbright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I love this part
On 30 July 1961, two weeks before the erection of the
Berlin Wall, Fulbright said in a television interview, "I don't understand why the East Germans don't just close their border, because I think they have the right to close it."
[18][19] Fulbright’s statement was reported as a three-column spread on the front page of the
East German Communist Party newspaper
Neues Deutschland.
Fulbright raised serious objections to President
John F. Kennedy about the impending
Bay of Pigs Invasion in April 1961
but wait, there's more:
He was a major leftwing racist (yes kids they exist!!!!!!!!!)
Fulbright signed
The Southern Manifesto in opposition of the Supreme Court's historic 1954
Brown v. Board of Education decision.
[9] With other southern Democrats, Fulbright
filibustered the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as voting against the 1965
Voting Rights Act.
[10] However, in 1970, during the
Nixon administration, Fulbright voted for
a five-year extension of the Voting Rights Act.
[11] He also led the charge against confirming Nixon's conservative Supreme Court nominees
Clement Haynsworth and
Harold Carswell.
[12]
and look in the 70s they went for a more conservative, but less racist candidate, how can this be?????
Fulbright left the Senate in 1974, after being defeated in the Democratic primary by then-Governor
Dale Bumpers. His well-documented early condemnation of the Vietnamese war, quarrel with pro-Israel groups in the US, and anti-interventionist programs had long made him a
target of his party's right wing. Bumpers, supported by pro-Israel funding, won by a landslide.
and Bill Clinton's words not mine:
President Bill Clinton said, "Hillary and I have looked forward for some time to celebrating this 50th anniversary of the Fulbright Program, to honor the dream and legacy of a
great American, a citizen of the world, a native of my home state and
my mentor and friend, Senator Fulbright."
I mean, the democrats try to whitewash history, but it's there baby, its there.
