SOTU Racism

During Tuesday night's State of the Union address, a number of female Dimocrat Congressmen dressed in all white. They claimed it was a nod to suffrage. Of course, the irony was thick as the image bore stark similarities to the KKK and many people started sharing memes such as the one above.

Naturally, the memes were accompanied by statements, many of which pointed out the fact that the KKK was founded by Democrats. Of course, the #FakeNews "fact-checker" Politifact moved quickly to "debunk" the claim that the Democrat party founded the KKK.

This publication by PolitiFact is disingenuous and deceitful.  Of course the Democrat Party didn't form the KKK. It was Democrats who formed the KKK.

The first Klan was founded in Pulaski, TN, at some point in time between December 1865 and August 1866 by six former Confederate Army officers as a "fraternal social club." Nathan Bedford Forrest joined the KKK in 1867, two years after its founding, and was elected its first "Grand Wizard." This may have been because of Forrest's nickname in the Civil War of "The Wizard of the Saddle."

While Forrest was the leader,  the Klan suppressed voting rights of blacks and Republicans in the South by using violence and intimidation. (Sounds familiar, huh?)

So,
PolitiFact is still #FakeNews
Dimocrats are still Klansmen
And Trump is still their President. 

Until next time, my friends...
