Univision reporter is threatened DEATH by KKK interviewee - "Jesus said"

KKK leader threatens life of Afro-Latina journalist during interview

"We killed 6 million Jews the last time. Eleven million is nothing," said the KKK's Chris Barker


Ilia Calderón, an afro-latina reporter, feared for the safety of herself and her crew after being threatened by a KKK leader during an interview.

Calderón, an immigrant journalist for Univision of both African and Colombian descent, agreed to meet the grand wizard of Loyal White Knights faction of the KKK Chris Barker on his property in North Carolina in July.

After watching Barker conduct a ceremony with his fellow KKK members dressed in robes and yielding (sic: wielding) torches, she sat down with the leader and his wife for an interview. Things escalated quickly as Barker questioned why the journalist didn’t “go back” to the country she was born in. “We have nothing here in America; ya’ll keep flooding it,” he said. “But like God says – like Yahweh himself says – we will chase you out of here.”

Barker continued to say that he and his fellow white supremacists would “burn out” all of the immigrants in the country. After Calderón questioned exactly how that could happen, he responded saying, “We killed 6 million Jews the last time. Eleven million is nothing.”

Later on in the interview, Barker refers to the journalist as a “mongrel” and a “n*****,” then proceeded to claim he isn’t racist because he was part of a Christian group and not a hate group.

So you've been the master race since the days of Yahweh (a Hebrew deity) back in olden biblical times? And this trailer park is as far as you've gotten in all that time? Really?

saying that we are such scare mongers, rabble rousers, over KKK that he said is something from the way distant past.

He's from the "moderate"/CountryClub type Repukes, but he will never disown whoever the current Repuke (DRUMPF) place holder is.
