That's a Koch lie. Doesn't matter how often you repeat it, it doesn't make it true. The KKK was founded by republicans.

Even the most far-left liberals admit that the KKK was founded by Democrats. Surely you know that.

Go away.

During the presidential election of 1868, the Ku Klux Klan under the leadership of Forrest, and other terrorist groups, used brutal violence and intimidation against blacks and Republican voters.

The Republicans had nominated one of Forrest's battle adversaries, Union war hero Ulysses S. Grant, for the Presidency at their convention held in October. Klansmen took their orders from their former Confederate officers.[165] In Kansas, there were over 2,000 murders committed to suppress blacks and Republicans from voting. In Georgia, Republicans and blacks received threats and beatings at a higher rate. In Louisiana, 1,000 blacks were killed to suppress Republican voting. The Klan's violence was primarily designed to intimidate voters, targeting black and white supporters of the Republican Party.

Meaningless word salad.

The old Democratic Party was simply the same people who are republicans today.

Therefore, it is entirely accurate and appropriate in that context to say that the klan was founded BY republicans. Because the people that founded it would be republicans today.


Logic isn't your thing, is it sweetie?

They were simply the republicans of the time. Then they switched parties later. It's accurate to say it was created by republicans because those same people would be republicans today.

Saying it over and over and over again does not make it true.
You get an A for persistence and an F for your grasp of facts.
