Dixie Outfitter owner's response on KKK ties

In 2015, Anna Robb told the News-Leader that she had attended KKK events in the past, but that was "years ago." Her husband Nathan, co-owner of the store, once tried to adopt a highway in Arkansas on behalf of the Ku Klux Klan, and that Nathan Robb’s father is Thomas Robb, the national director of the KKK.

Anna Robb denied that she or her husband were ever a part of the KKK, but did say she had attended KKK events in the past.

“I have years ago,” she said in 2015. “That was years ago, and that is not even something that comes up anymore.”

She also spoke about what she felt was the wrong impression many people have about the Confederate flag.

“It has nothing to do with slavery, which the media always want to bring in,” she had said.
