Fact check:
This is a story by a Brittish Tabloid and WASHINGTON POST in which case
neither show proof of the story.
Also this article doesn't really make clear the side Fred Trump would have taken and any insinuation that he may have been a member of the KKK is purely speculation at this point
and also would destroy the left's false narrative in busting on Trump for not wanting to assume & group label everyone supporting a historical statue as Klan like his father was muddied in insinuation.
Also it would be
assuming which Fred Trump of the many that existed, and they'd have to prove this the same one through birth certificate (*L*) and proving his age jives with the age his father would have been back then. They have a track record of fake and mistaken stories, if this were true the real news would be all over this.
Hence it's merely used as race bait click bait and forum troll post instead.
Propaganda rating=10
Fake news= not enough info or proof to determine, but past records show it most likely to be rated= B.S.
Real facts:
The K K K were affiliated to the Democratic Party:
Historian Eric Foner observed: "In effect, the
K l a n was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired restoration of w h i t e s u p r e m a c y. "
Hillary Clinton spoke glowingly of Democratic Senator Robert Byrd who was a card carrying member and recruiter for the K K K. He was the G r a n d D r a g o n and she referred to him as the "Heart and soul of America".
And the G r a n d D r a g o n endorsed Hillary for president - none of that was brought up by the press.
No his daddy rioted with the KKK.
