Not-So-Strange Bed(sheet) Fellows


Neo-fascist demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump received an endorsement on Friday from a key demographic of his: the Ku Klux Klan.  The "Imperial Wizard" of the Rebel Brigade Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, who bravely didn't divulge his name, said that Rump's views are shared by the Klan.  This isn't the first endorsement from white supremacists: Klansman David Duke and white nationalist William Johnson of the "American Freedom Party" have also embraced Rump's bigoted views and proposals, most notably banning all Muslims from entering the U.S. and deporting all 11 million undocumented (overwhelmingly Hispanic) immigrants.

Meanwhile, the Beltway political media continues its search for opportunities to call Rump "presidential." Maybe a yoooge presidential cross burning will do.
