The Myth of Trump and the KKK
New Standard Press ^ | 12-19-2016 | Alberto A. Martinez

Posted on 09/12/2017 2:52:40 PM PDT by DeweyCA

MEDIA MEME:

Donald Trump initially refused to disavow the Ku Klux Klan and David Duke. Only under mounting political pressure did he finally disavow them. This suggests that he panders to white supremacists.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED:

From 1991 until election day in November 2016, Donald Trump repudiated and disavowed David Duke or the KKK no less than 55 times in 15 public occasions. Seven of those occasions happened before a CNN interview in which he insisted “I know nothing about” David Duke or white supremacists. The media made a monstrous meme out of this one instance when he only said “I know nothing about” instead of “I disavow,” to make it seem as if Trump wanted the support of the KKK. But really, he had already disavowed David Duke publicly two days before and three days before.

Go to the article for much, much more information.

The author, Alberto A. Martinez, is a professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin. He is a Bernie Sanders supporter. The long article has transcripts of the media continually lying about Trump not disavowing David Duke. It is maddening to see the blatant bias and dishonesty of the MSM.

If the Delusional Lying Left had no myths, they would have nothing.

IOW, the Delusional Lying Left has and offers nothing, but myths provide the appearance of something.

The c*cks*ckers in the media thrust a microphone in front of Trump when he was not prepared to comment and trapped him with words that he did not speak. They immediately created the meme that Trump was with KKK and nazis.

They are skilled at creating a point of discussion and keeping it going for several weeks. This is picked up and hyped by all the media, creating a meme that becomes the background for the leftist activists, on which they carry out their actions.

They created this background meme after Charlottesville, and the left immediately picked up on it and started destroying things and firing people for being White.

They are skilled at it, and normal people are not skilled in fighting it.
Sad.

There were some KKK people supporting Trump. There were also some supporting Hillary.

Does the KKK even exist anymore outside of movies and liberal imaginations? I’ve live in the South my entire life, and never met a Klansman.

Notice the MSM never called on Hillary to disavow the support of anyone who had actually committed a violent crime against blacks.

Even acknowledging the felons couldn't vote anyway, there are a lot of people who committed violent crimes against blacks that were never caught. Why didn't the MSM call on Hillary to disavow their support?

“There were some KKK people supporting Trump”

It is doubtful that any KKK members were out supporting Trump. There could have been Soros employees — agent provocateurs — posing as KKK supporters of Trump to slander him.

Nazis, KKK, white supremacists, etc. are not in the public consciousness. These are non-existent concepts in the public mind. There are many more rapists, murderers, drug dealers loose in society causing much more misery. But people are programmed to get their panties in a wad at the mere thought of the above.

On CBS election night coverage, minutes after Trump’s victory speech, one Michele Norris referred to DJT as:

“...a candidate who was endorsed by the KKK and did not denounce that.”

Norris is affiliated with something called the Aspen Institute and something else called the Race Card Project.
On Aspen’s site she is described as “one of the most trusted voices in American journalism.”
Never heard of her before the CBS election night; nor since.
Impossible to say if she’s ignorant or a liar or both.
