Lyndon Johnson said the word “******” a lot.
In Senate cloakrooms and staff meetings, Johnson was practically a connoisseur of the word. According to Johnson biographer Robert Caro, Johnson would calibrate his pronunciations by region, using “nigra” with some southern legislators and “negra” with others. Discussing civil rights legislation with men like Mississippi Democrat James Eastland, who committed most of his life to defending white supremacy, he’d simply call it “the ****** bill.”

But, uhhh...like, there was a big switch that happened with the parties!!!! And LBJ would be, like, a Republican today because they totally identify with him! Or something...
No surprise that we can add another prominent dim to the list of KKK members since they were the ones who started it all. But let’s just pretend the parties switched behind the scenes and that will not only somehow exonerate every D from wrongdoing, it will also shift the blame to R’s. How convenient!
Honest to God, dimocraps literally live their lives based on an endless pile of lies. How f’ing stupid do you have to be to function like that?

As far as I know it's not a crime to be a member of the
KKK or The German American Bund or The American Freedom Party
or Aryan Nations.
All of the above are White supremacist groups. Put them all
together and they haven't done nearly the damage to our country
that Democrats and Rinos have.
Those hiding in plain sight are the real enemies.
