Link to Hillary telling the KKK where to stick their endorsement, please.

THIS IS NOT A SARCASTIC THREAD.

I have a ton of people on ignore, so I am probably just missing it.

I am not going to link to the story, but apparently the grand pooba of KKK is saying he is switching from supporting Trump to Hillary. This is obviously a publicity stunt and no one with more than two functioning brain cells believes it.

Is there a nice link with a DECENT HEADLINE (most stories are focusing on the titallation of "KKK" dude) with Hillary using some devestating language telling him what he can do with the endorsement?

Much appreciation!

I did not really delve much further other than rolling my eyes at the quote:

"Will Quigg, a grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan's California chapter, told the Telegraph Monday that he would be switching his support from Donald Trump to Clinton.

Quigg had endorsed Trump on Twitter in September."

It is obviously an attempt to taint her with their bad reputation, and hence my request for the appropriate "stick it" response.

A link to what I am looking for has been provided below.

Thank you!

Couldn't find any link about HRC commenting on the endorsement. But did find this statement in an article.


"Based on his past statements, it doesn’t appear highly credible that he has changed his effusive allegiance to Donald Trump,” Brian Levin, a former New York police officer who is director of the Centre for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University in San Bernardino, told the Telegraph. “The timing seems suspect. I think this is a function of not wanting to undermine the Trump campaign.”
