u Klux Klan Grand Dragon Will Quigg Endorses Hillary Clinton for President

Hillary Clinton can add a new name to her list of endorsements – a prominent Ku Klux Klan member who says he likes her because of her "hidden agenda."

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:

Now, though, he says he's changing his tune.

"We want Hillary Clinton to win," he said. "She is telling everybody one thing, but she has a hidden agenda. She’s telling everybody what they want to hear so she can get elected, because she’s Bill Clinton’s wife, she’s close to the Bushes. Once she’s in the presidency, she’s going to come out and her true colors are going to show. Border policies are going to be put in place. Our second amendment rights that she’s saying she’s against now, she’s not against. She’s just our choice for the presidency."

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Posts a link indicating Hillary will do anything "for the love of money," when the linked story has absolutely nothing to do with Hillary and makes no reference to her. Since this is in a protected group, the post can't be challenged. It's a deliberate effort to falsely malign a leading Democratic candidate.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 14, 2016, 07:59 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Will the primaries never end?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Really? That's the reason for your alert??? You should be banned for even alerting that, much less typing out that reason. Get a life. We're Democrats and we should be better than Republicans. Despite how you want things, this isn't some cult.


Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm inclined to give a lot of leeway to content in groups like this-- they're supposed to moderate themselves. If you don't want to see content that offends your sensibilities, don't lurk there.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: what a stupid alert
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Poster should know better.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Truth hurts sometimes....

Just so you know I am not going to back down. There will be more on this topic. I will probably post on it daily and I will be in your anti-Bernie threads.

As a Sanders supporter, I call bullshit on this guy endorsing Clinton. Neither of our candidates have anything to offer racists. Trump put him up to it I bet.

As if any klan member would vote for Clinton or Sanders. Attempted smear job.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

When will the hate stop? Trying to tie Hillary to the Klan is outrageous and has no place on DU. Worst yet, this was posted in a protected group.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 14, 2016, 10:37 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This attempt to tie a democratic candidate to the Klan is disgusting. Trashing democrats is the antithesis of what DU represents and it should not be allowed.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's an endorsement. If you would prefer it in GD, go on and post it. Whiny alert.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: As someone that rarely hides I agree with the alerter. This is not appropriate.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

That's how they gain relevance to those they're trying to impress. So when it happens to Senator Sanders, we mention this. (paging Karl Rove)
