The KKK’s Official Newspaper Just Endorsed Trump

Source: Occupy Democrats

As CBS anchor Scott Pelley once observed to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s face during an interview, “You love hearing about yourself. It is oxygen to you.” Trump responded in his typical braggart manner that he has been on the cover of more publications than any supermodel and that he enjoys hanging the covers on his office wall as trophies because they are “cheaper than wallpaper.” Cheap and tacky, that’s quintessential Trump.

However, Trump likely won’t be adorning his wall with the latest edition of “The Crusader“, the official newspaper of the Ku Klux Klan, who just put Trump on their cover with a glowing endorsement of his candidacy with a promise of a resurgence of white supremacy. ...........

......... To believe Trump isn’t in cahoots with white supremacists is not in line with reality. For example Trump has personally rewtweeted at least 75 posts directly from other white supremacists. The Republican party’s leadership accepts the white supremacist support for their standard bearer and during Trump’s acceptance speech of the GOP nomination at the Republican National Convention they put the Twitter comments of a known racist on four large screens in the arena for all to see.

Trump even accepted one of America’s most famous racists, William Johnson, as an official delegate in California. Johnson is the leader of the American Freedom Party which, “exists to represent the political interests of White Americans.”

his campaign has already damaged a lot of cultural relations in this country. He has brought out the worst in people who are still going to be here and hate us even more for winning.



it will be a very difficult next few years.

It is a first step to recovery.

Ammon Bundy occupied a game refuge and a dozen idiots joined him. Trump occupied the Republican party and half of them fell for it. Trump isn't in jail because he didn't use force, otherwise he and Ammon are quite alike. Well, Trump won't be caught in plaid, of course, but they share the same politics of tearing down America and offering themselves as saviors.

"I am endorsed by a hundred legitimate newspapers across the country, many which have broken tradition to endorse a Democrat. Donald is endorsed by three small newspapers, one printed by the Klu Klux Klan."

The paper was purchased by a millionaire and she was pushing her ideas. Everyone had to resign to preserve their journalistic integrity.

In an open letter released Tuesday and addressed to the American people, 70 Nobel laureates “strongly and fully” endorsed Hillary Clinton for the presidency. “To preserve our freedoms, protect our constitutional government, safeguard our national security, and ensure that all members of our nation will be able to work together for a better future,” the letter began, “it is imperative that Hillary Clinton be elected as the next President of the United States.” ......

If he denounces it he loses half his baskets of deplorables. If he defends it he loses the other half.
