90 years ago Two Scoops's dad was arrested in a Klan riot

Two Scoops vehemently denies this, "never happened" but yet, the arrest record stands.

In 1927, Donald Trump’s father was arrested after a Klan riot in Queens

On Memorial Day 1927, brawls erupted in New York led by sympathizers of the Italian fascist movement and the Ku Klux Klan. In the fascist brawl, which took place in the Bronx, two Italian men were killed by anti-fascists. In Queens, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested.

One of those arrested was Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Rd. in Jamaica.

On edit: fixed bad math 90, not 70 years.
