The KKK member's name is "McClanahan?" The writers of this show are so lazy.
Didn't you know? They're progressives now. They welcome Catholics as long as they're also white racists!
The judge's name who kept him on the ballot is Cotton Walker.
Sorry, Republicans. You made this bed, you have to lie in it. If a Klansman gets enough signatures to get on your party's primary ballot, what does that suggest about your party's members?
I think I already know the answer and I think it’s because doing so would expose tons already in power, and even more in the past.
But, why hasn’t the KKK been labeled a terrorist organization in the US?
Those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they’re the chosen whites.
You can be on a primary ballot while in prison, serving time for a terrorism conviction. Criminality just isn't relevant.
But you could only win doing so as a Republican.
They aren’t enemies of the state. Groups are classed as terrorists when they are using violence and terror to attack a nation state government, or its interests. The KKK don’t challenge the state in this way, they terrorise people and they support violence. But they don’t define themselves or act as enemies to the state.
I think they should be classed as hate groups and possibly terrorists. They do use terror to try to enact social change. The social change they want is more of a regression than a revolution, so it can be easy for conservatives to sympathise with them. Conservatives make up half the political power in most countries so it’s hard to classify these types of groups as terrorists. These groups advocate for conservation of social norms, just the norms they want to preserve are oppression and lack of civil rights.
With open ties to the KKK. The others are smart enough to keep theirs hidden.
It is a campaign strategy to distinguish him from the crowd of closeted KKK also rans.
I visited Missouri once. I get why people call it Misery now
Good. Hopefully AG Asshat will have to spend more money to keep the racists from splitting the vote and he will have less for the general election (or not even get through the primary).
KKK clan
Did they find him for interview at the ATM machine?
Wait they spell clan with a k? Lol
Yes lol, "Ku Klux Klan." As to why, your guess is as good as mine, not even sure they know anymore, that secret may have died with the first klan.
