Ku Klux Klan official confirms recruiting in San Francisco

The Ku Klux Klan recruitment flyer that sparked outrage in San Francisco’s Haight neighborhood this week was legitimate, a Klan official said Thursday, adding that the organization had recently received a surge in interest amid police shootings and protests.

On Tuesday, neighborhood news outlet Hoodline posted a picture of the flyer, which was reportedly being distributed around Haight and Clayton and Oak and Lyon streets.

Will Quigg, grand dragon of the KKK’s West Coast region, said the picture showed one of the pamphlets that members tend to leave in driveways.

“Our organization is actively recruiting in all of California and all of the United States,” Quigg said. “We’re getting a lot more calls, especially in the last few months with what Obama’s doing, what Hillary’s doing and especially Black Lives Matter calling for war and saying they’re trying to kill all whites.”
