Hillary's Grand Dragon

The Civil Rights Act became law in June of 1964. The Act ended racial discrimination in all public places. Senator Barry Goldwater voted against it. He was one of only six Republican Senators to vote against it.

Goldwater ran for president in 1964. Hillary Clinton supported him. She was a "Goldwater Girl". She used to wear a banner that said "Goldwater Girl". 

Goldwater's opponent, Lyndon Johnson, put out an ad claiming that the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) supported Goldwater.

  
I don't know if Hillary saw the ad, but her support for Goldwater was unwavering. Years later, In 1992, she spoke about her support for him.

On June 28, 2010, Hillary Clinton commented on the passing of Senator Robert Byrd. She described him as her mentor. She said “From my first day in the Senate, I sought out his guidance and he was always generous with his time and his wisdom..... As Secretary of State, I continued to rely on his advice and counsel.” The State Department posted a video of her comments on its youtube channel.

Hillary didn’t mention that Byrd was a former racist and Ku Klux Klan member. In December 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo: “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”

In 1946, Byrd wrote a letter to a Grand Wizard stating "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."

Byrd later apologized for his past activities and was repentant. A 2005 Washington Post article detailed Byrd’s racist past.

Glenn Beck chronicled Robert Byrd’s life and mentioned his deplorable past. He said “Senator Byrd wasn't just a member of the KKK. He was a Klan leader holding titles of Kleagle and Exalted Cyclops."  

Senator Byrd took part in a filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He gave a speech against the Civil Rights Act that lasted for over 14 hours.

Even though Byrd repented, he made another controversial statement when he was 83 years old. He said “I think we talk about race too much. There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time -- I'm going to use that word.”

 

Hillary wouldn’t mention even one of Byrd’s abhorrent racist statements or actions. She does like to criticize her presidential opponent, though. Donald Trump apparently didn’t disavow David Duke fast enough for Hillary and the media and they spent a lot of time criticizing him for it. Duke left the Klan in 1980, but he formed a white nationalist group. Trump did disavow him. He has never met Duke and has no relationship with him.

Hillary had a relationship with Byrd. There is a 2004 photograph of Senator Byrd kissing Hillary. Even though Byrd had repented by this time, I don’t think Hillary will be using the photo in any of her campaign ads.

Hillary did reference the Klan in one of her campaign ads, though. The ad portrays a negative image of Donald Trump because a Klan member supports him. There are false insinuations in the ad. It is despicable and misleading. Trump has no connection to the KKK.

Hillary released the ad in August of 2016. She didn’t mention in the ad that a Grand Dragon of the KKK endorsed her for president about six months earlier.

Grand Dragon Will Quigg of the KKK endorsed Hillary. The endorsement can be seen in a video from March 2016 documenting a protest that turned violent. One of Quigg’s fellow Klan members was arrested for stabbing a man.

Quigg was injured in the protest but he wasn’t arrested. He granted an interview at the scene and said he supports Hillary for president.

Quigg’s endorsement of Hillary was also documented in an April 2016 Washington Times article. He claimed to have anonymously raised $20,000 for Hillary’s campaign. He is quoted as saying: “For the KKK, Clinton is our choice.”

This is worth repeating. He said: “For the KKK, Clinton is our choice.”

Quigg’s reasons for supporting Hillary are shocking.

The Grand Dragon said: “All the stuff she’s saying now, she’s saying so she can get into office, OK. She doesn’t care about illegal immigrants — she’s acting like she does so she can get into office. Once she’s in office, then she’ll implement her policies. She’s a Democrat. The Klan has always been a Democratic organization.”

There is also a video of Quigg stating his reasons for supporting Hillary.

As far as I know, only Fox News mentioned the Quigg endorsement. The media didn’t spend hours talking about this. People don’t know about Hillary’s Grand Dragon. The Clinton campaign knew all about Quigg’s endorsement. They didn’t think it was relevant. As far as they’re concerned, an endorsement by the Klan is only relevant if it’s for Donald Trump.

The endorsement of Hillary by Will Quiqq would not be significant, except for one thing. Hillary is the candidate who brought the KKK into the campaign. She’s the one who put out the ad trying to falsely connect Trump to that organization. Now, people are becoming aware of Hillary's ties to one of the biggest racists who ever lived, Senator Robert Byrd. They are becoming aware of Will Quigg's endorsement. 

There was a protest in Florida on August 26, 2016. People were chanting "Hillary is racist". A black man held a sign that said "Hillary is the KKK".

I don’t know if all of Grand Dragon Quigg’s statements about Hillary are true. He did make one undisputed observation. Hillary is a democrat.

So was former KKK member Senator Robert Byrd.
