Truman was a member of the KKK and the best defense the left can come up with is that "democrats were conservative" at that time? You almost gotta laugh.
'best defense' for what?
That Truman was briefly a member of the KKK? Already discussed- at length- including exactly why he joined- how long he was a member and why he left the KKK.
The 'best defense' is to look at what Truman did for African American civil rights after his membership in the KKK- which was more than any of the current batch of RNC candidates.
I would be glad to compare the civil rights record of Truman with Trump any time.
