With some people, race trumps everything. Lovie appears to be one of those people. He pretty much said so himself with his comments.
But if the Klan were to support the GOP nominee all hell would break loose and the GOP nominee would spend the rest of the campaign disavowing any group that would support him because of the colour of his skin, all the while the media is praising the “solidarity” of the black race. Truly Orwellian.
