The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

On Memorial Day 1927, brawls erupted in New York led by sympathizers of the Italian fascist movement and the Ku Klux Klan. In the fascist brawl, which took place in the Bronx, two Italian men were killed by anti-fascists. In Queens, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested.

One of those arrested was Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Rd. in Jamaica.

Per Snopes…

Trump Scour

MIXTURE
WHAT'S TRUE: A 1 June 1927 New York Times article named Fred Trump among individuals arrested after a "near-riot" involving the KKK and New York City policemen at a "Memorial parade."

WHAT'S FALSE/UNDETERMINED: Fred Trump was a KKK member or supporter; Fred Trump was charged with a crime in connection with the KKK event.

As BoingBoing stated, the information available in the article made it difficult to figure out whether Trump's father was directly involved in the melee, or simply a bystander in the wrong place at the wrong time. Others were charged with various counts ranging from felonious assault to disorderly behavior, but Trump didn't appear to have been cited for even minor charges. According to BoingBoing, New York City no longer has any information about arrests as far back as 1927, making it impossible to independently verify the original Times report.​

David Duke denies ever endorsing Trump. That was liberal democrats dressed in white sheets - that you saw. As for Fred Trump? Trump said his father was never arrested. You've got the wrong man. The story is false. I'm encouraged to see all the desperation the liberal media is showing over Trump. Very encouraged.

Well, to start things off, Robert Byrd was never a Grand Wizard.
Secondly, Byrd resigned from the KKK in 1952 and championed civil rights, NCAAP leaders attended his funeral as Byrd received a 100% rating from the organization. Maybe that's why Obama gave the eulogy?

Liberals don't dress in white sheets, conservatives do. David Puke is proof of that. CanI get an AMEN?

For the entire time that the Ku Klux Klan had any meaningful existence, it was very solidly aligned with the Democratic Party.

It's funny how those of you on the wrong dismiss the connection between your own party and the KKK, while trying to smear Republican because of an unproven possibility that two decades before he was born, his father might have been involved in a KKK-related melee.

Another liberal lie blown away......

• Fred Trump marched in protest of Americans murdered by Socialists/Communists (NOT the KKK)
  lamecherry.blogspot.com ^ | 01/26/2016 | lame cherry
  "Fred Trump was marching in support of two Americans named Amoroso and Carisi who were Italian immigrants, and had been murdered on the streets by Anarchists, when Irish Catholic cops started beating the hell out of Protestant whites in religious hatred. The murderer arrested was Adamo Mastrangelo, again an Italian." "Look back to that year and you have 1927 and you will find decades of violence being unleashed in America by these Anarchists. The press spiked a lunatic to assassinate President Theodore Roosevelt as they did not like this outsider Republican. The Anarchist was code for MARXIST or COMMUNISTS."

Read my post again. Did I say anything about political parties? The key word in my statement is "conservatives." The KKK has always been conservative...regardless of party affiliation. Republicans who favored civil rights in the '60s were called "bleeding heart Liberals." I guess you weren't even born then, so STFU!
