Equally true as the GOP being the stalwart supporters of a woman's right to choose, the champions of sensible gun control, and the sacred guardians of single payer universal healthcare.
I must compliment you both on the sick burn and for using a proper ellipses character.

The KKK did NOT endorse Hillary in 2016, nor Biden in 2020. Guess who they endorsed, Mr. Perry? Pro-Tip: He's running on your side this year and is currently grousing in a courtroom as they determine if he broke the law or not...
They don't care if their claims are true. Lies spread more easily than the truth.

So standard projection from the GOP. Nice of them to confirm that they consider the KKK to be their military wing, not that that's a surprise to anyone.
The fucking White Supremacy people are just so fucking progressive right?
Well, given that Republicans understand progressivism as fascism, fascism as anything Democrats do, anything that Democrats do as everything they (Republicans) don't like, then yes, that's exactly what they believe. As such, they can disavow explicit racists and continue to be implicitly racist.
Every accusation is a confession, as per standard procedure.
Sure, if we were still in 1862.
But then, the current GOP really wishes it were still 1862, don't they?
An easy way to check is to see who gets mad about removing Confederate statues.
It's not the Democrats

Apart from the huge logical leaps, the KKK's agenda so closely aligns with the GOP's and Trump's, can you even imagine a single member of the KKK being a democrat? Being a democrat is like an excommunicable sin for these groups.
Being in the KKK is a good way to be shunned by every single progressive too.
Really weird thing he's trying to do here, but logic certainly was abandoned long ago.
It's an incredibly common talking point fed to reactionaries by right-wing media.
Try telling a Republican that everyone in the KKK who votes does so for Republicans and watch the denials and accusations fly despite it being perfectly obvious.

Can…. Can we just give this guy a drug test?
Full panel, and a full panel tox screen, too.
Check his brain for worms too
I mean, we should rule these things out.
For the safety of the worm!
As with anything GOP-related, if they're projecting it onto Democrats, they're guilty of it themselves.
Grooming children? Catholic church, which is largely Republicans in America
Anti-LGBTQ+? The number of GOP members who have been caught with same sex partners of both underage and adult varieties makes that laughable.
Pro-life? Several GOP members have secretly paid for abortions.
Economy crashes or stalls? It's because of policies that a Republican-led government made before handing the mess off to a Democrat.
I'll bet cash money this guy has a clan outfit in his closet.

Funny, they only seem to ever run as republicans.
The military wing of the Democratic Party is the navy in my experience, but the military wing of the American left wants to fight the kkk everywhere they see them.
He's saying Democrats are the KKK while promoting replacement theory, a belief of the KKK
Trying to sort through the projection, is this why they're so afraid of Antifa? Because the GOP has a military wing with the KKK, they assume the Dems want to create a military group with Antifa or something? Certainly explains how they try to portray Antifa.
[Insert "The What?"] meme here
This chucklefuck can't even get his story straight.
According to him, is the DNC pro or anti immigration?
According to him, is the KKK pro or anti immigration?
Reactionary asshole.

That was true when there were Dixiecrats. But they all jumped to the Republican party when Reagan was in office.
Conservatives were always the racists / KKK
Party is irrelevant.
Then why are they marching and getting cheers at GOP conferences? Are they stupid?

Perry then defended replacement theory,
"I ain't racist, they're racist."
Immediately proceeds to do a racism
Big "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?" energy. Brings me right back to grade school...
They've been doing it for years. Like the "National Socialists are leftists because socialist is in the name" thing. Ignoring that in Europe at the time, everybody was basically calling themselves socialist to chase the votes of the working population.
They aren't stupid, it's intentional, to muddy the waters for people that aren't very familiar with that history.
So why are they mostly republicans?
I mean this is such obvious projection, they're basically telling on themselves
He got confused, he meant to say the police is the military ring of the KKK
Bro tried to use this
but desperately failed
Rightists once again chowing down on rancid bullshit and calling it foie gras. They remain a repugnant blight on humanity.
They keep saying shit like this but not one of them will wear a Hillary t-shirt to a Klan rally and livestream the results

He talks about supporting legal migration like his ancestors but honestly it's way more American to just show up here and do what you want, how else would this country have gotten started if not for unsanctioned migration and crimes against humanity?
This guy has brain worms too
...Who does he think is joining the current incarnations of the KKK? Does he really think that the people in the current KKK are Democratic voters? Really?
Talk about having reality completely upside down.
The wack part of this is that he said it in a closed door meeting with a few of his peers or staff, not to a crowd of people. That shows he actually believes this bullshit.

Maybe the reason you don't hear so much about the KKK these days is that they decided to be the "military wing" of the anti-military, anti-gun anti-fascist anti-racist party.
He'd be right if this was the year 1870. I checked my calendar and it's not.
I wonder who the KKK voted for
