The recent controversy that an old news story has emerged and it is one that suggests that Trump’s father, the late Fred Trump, once wore the robe and hood of a Klansman.
Trump was released without charges, so there is the possibility that he “may have been an innocent bystander, falsely named, or otherwise the victim of mistaken identity during or following a chaotic event.”
When The New York Times asked Donald Trump about the Klan event, he denied it all and said it never happened.
Not only did Trump deny his father’s arrest at the KKK rally, he said: “It shouldn’t be written because it never happened, number one. And number two, there was nobody charged.”
This is all resurfacing again after Donald Trump’s rivals Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio hammered him about the endorsement he received from David Duke. Duke is the former grand wizard of the KKK. He is the epitome of the American bigot and racist.
Trump tried to repudiate Duke’s endorsement but many aren’t convinced he disavowed it. Many in the media are asking if Trump lied when he said he didn’t know who David Duke was.
Even though most white supremacists, neo-nazis, and clan members don’t vote in large number, we may see them coming back into the fold.
