RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - The Imperial Wizard of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) said the group is not a hate group ...

“I think Donald Trump would be best for the job,” said the Imperial Wizard ...

... he supports Trump’s calls to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States.

"If Donald Trump dropped out tomorrow I would support Kasich before I would Ted Cruz because he is not an American citizen,” said the Imperial Wizard. “Even if I agree with some of the things that Ted Cruz says, I would not support him because he was born in Canada. He is not an American citizen" ...

The enemy is Trump, not Hillary or Bernie

Of course, we can try to push the Dems left, but to say that there is only minor difference between either of our Dems and Trump is just plain insane

I grew up in segregated Alabama

I was in a crowd when George Wallace made a speech a lot like the speeches Trump is giving. I personally heard Wallace say that if one of those pointy head liberals lay down in front of his car, he would run over him. The crowd went wild with approval.

I see the same thing happening at Trump's rallies.

It's just too scary to me to think Trump could be President.

No way would either Hillary or Bernie make those kind of racist speeches. No way would they invite families of victims of illegal immigrants on stage to work up the crowd. No way would they appoint the kind of judges that Trump has said he'd appoint.

The reporter stays cool as a cucumber even when this Imperial Wizard of the KKK says Obama "has been a greet recruiting tool" ...."and it's not because he's black."

can complain about needing to be safe on the streets to a black man?

As for the OP, another KKK wizard supporting Trump, that was my first laugh. Thanks to both you.
