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. Shes telling everybody what they want to hear so she can get elected, because shes Bill Clintons wife, shes close to the Bushes. Once shes in the presidency, shes 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 shes saying shes against now, shes not against. Shes just our choice for the presidency."

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....

(4,246 posts)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.

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.

Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
