Ku Klux Klan supporters give Nazi salute at North Carolina rally in support of Donald Trump

Source: The Telegraph

Supporters of the Ku Klux Klan drove through a North Carolina market town on Saturday in what they said was a show of support for Donald Trump and his presidency.

They gave Nazi salutes and shouted “White power” as they thundered through Roxboro in the middle of the afternoon.

The open display by a movement condemned as a hate group illustrates the way many believe Mr Trump’s election win – after a campaign in which he promised to ban foreign Muslims from entering the country, ridiculed a disabled reporter and described Mexicans as rapists and drug smugglers – had unleashed dark forces.

Watchdogs have reported a surge in hate crimes since Mr Trump pulled off an improbable win in the early hours of 9 November.

Anything describing Trump or conservatives in a negative is now FAKE news and should be ridiculed. And nothing will convince them otherwise.

Dump tacitly, and sometimes explicitly, endorses this crap. As long as they're saluting Dear Leader, they can get away with almost anything.

I hate to bring up the Nazi thing again, but yes, this is the Nazi thing.

, I will have to be, as every 'other' than a white male will have to be, in hyperaware mode like I was during a tour of another country 47 years ago. This shit will not remain 'rural'. Fuck this.

xenophobic views were not racist, in spite of racist, sexist, xenophobic views that trump made very clear in his campaign, and now through appointments such as Jeff Sessions, Steve Bannon, and others.

Nothing to see here, but anyone who subscribes to that, I have some swamp land in Arizona to sell ya

Just about the only areas where he had specifics were racist, xenophobic, bigoted ....and yet we are treated to the garbage that people that support him and his bigotry really aren't bad

I'd like to hear KellyAnne, the pterodactyl, deny the rise in violence, that's it is raced based and it's only to get worse. Seems Petulant Elect refuses to acknowledge the hundreds and hundreds of crimes committed by white thug SS goose stepping drooling troglodytes.

Is he trying to start a war in America so we won't notice all the illegal shit he's doing?
