I just noticed this photo. Any idea who the last Democratic Presidential candidate the KKK supported? I don't remember KKK supporting any democrat in my lifetime. They certainly supported Trump in 2016 and are part of his core supporters.

Seems most folks can recall the Democrat KKK Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd who was in congress for a number of years. One of Byrd's votes was to filibuster, opposing the 1964 Civil Rights Act, along with such well known Democrats as William Fulbright and Al Gore Sr.
