KKK's Official Newspaper Endorses Donald Trump For President, Trump Denies It

[Initech]

Among the small number of American newspapers that have embraced Donald Trump’s campaign, there is one, in particular, that stands out.

It is called the Crusader — and it is one of the prominent newspapers of the Ku Klux Klan.

Under the banner “Make America Great Again,” the paper’s current issue devoted its entire front page to a lengthy defense of Trump’s message — an embrace some have labeled a de facto endorsement.

“ ‘Make America Great Again!’ It is a slogan that has been repeatedly used by Donald Trump in his campaign for the presidency,” the Crusader’s Pastor Thomas Robb wrote. “You can see it on the shirts, buttons, posters and ball caps such as the one being worn here by Trump speaking at a recent rally. … But can it happen? Can America really be great again? This is what we will soon find out!”

“While Trump wants to make America great again, we have to ask ourselves, ‘What made America great in the first place?’ " the article continues. “The short answer to that is simple. America was great not because of what our forefathers did — but because of who our forefathers were.

Washington (CNN)The official newspaper of the Ku Klux Klan expressed its support for Republican nominee Donald Trump on the front page of its current issue, a move the Trump campaign quickly denounced.

The front page of "The Crusader" had a banner that said "Make America Great Again" with an article dedicated to a defense of Trump's campaign slogan.

Trump's campaign quickly denounced the support from the newspaper, calling the publication "repulsive."

"Mr. Trump and the campaign denounces hate in any form. This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign," the Trump campaign said in a statement to CNN.

3. Well, isn't that special!

"This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign," the Trump campaign said in a statement to CNN. "

Yeah, it may not represent all of the 'tens of millions' that have fallen for his rhetoric, but it sure represents a huge segment that he's been loath to denounce throughout his campaign. He (or rather, his campaign spokescritter) called the publication 'repulsive', but didn't specify whether he was talking about the content, or just the typeface and graphic design. I'm guessing the latter. ('tRump's name wasn't large enough!! We didn't like the picture they used. How repulsive!')

Nuance is everything.

4. The real irony is that this guy started his campaign calling Mexican rapists...

And wants to kick all Muslims out. Then his PR department is like "The Trump campaign does not endorse hate of any kind". Give me a fucking break!

Unless you mean Mary Kay, the Official Cosmetics Supplier to Team Rump. (Donald's favorite is the "Tangerine Glow" base, which he uses every day to enhance his manly-man appearance.)
