Friends -The Klan has officially endorsed Trump again. So far he has not rejected the endorsement.

When the Murderous bigot Klan endorses a candidate that means that candidate meets the Klan’s criteria. Any candidate who Meets the Klans criteria for office, by definition is unworthy of office in the United States of America.

Tell those who support Trump that they are supporting the Klan’s pick. Offer to buy them a hood.
