Yes, Democrats DID start the Ku Klux Klan (and it’s still the party of racism)
By Joe Jarvis - February 07, 2019
I don’t want people to think better of Republicans.
I want people to be as critical of Democrats as they are of Republicans.
Both parties are really terrible. But the Democrats too often get a pass because they are better at branding and marketing.
The last time a Republican Presidential candidate got more than 15% of the black vote was 1960.
And yet the Democrats had a former KKK member in the US Senate until he died in 2010. In fact, Robert Byrd wasn’t just in the KKK, he recruited 150 friends to start a chapter!
Robert Byrd used the N-word on live television in 2001. And then was re-elected as the Senator from West Virginia in 2006.
Compare that to the current Democrat Governor from one state over, Virginia. Ralph Northam dressed in blackface when he was 25 (or KKK robes we don’t know which) as pictured in his graduate school yearbook.
