Donald Trump, who is proving himself to have learned well. His father a freaking fu**ing clansman.
Well, well, well. First we have Fred Koch's fascist background, and now here comes Fred Trump, daddy to The Donald,
who is proving himself to have learned well.
In an article subtitled "Klan assails policeman", Fred Trump is named in among those taken in during a late May "battle" in which "1,000 Klansmen and 100 policemen staged a free-for-all." At least two officers were hurt during the event, after which the Klan's activities were denounced by the city's Police Commissioner, Joseph A. Warren.
And here`s the thing. “The Klan not only wore gowns, but had hoods over their faces almost completely hiding their identity,” Warren was quoted as saying in the article, which goes on to identify seven men “arrested in the near-riot of the parade.”
Several attackers besides Fred Trump were named and charged (charged with felonious assault in the attack on Patrolman William O'Neill and Sgt. William Lockyear), Fred Lyons, Thomas Caroll, Thomas Erwin, and Harry J Free. They were arraigned in Jamaica, N.Y. city where Fred Trump listed his hometown address.
I can see coming the rightwing Repugs defense of Donald Trumps, especially Sarah Palin who will probably chirp as she does, that Donald was not even born in 1927.
One has to wonder what Fred Trump was doing arrested near or at the parade where the assault of the police officer took place. It is hard to imagine or mere coincidence that the man was one of seven arrested at a KKK rally when more than one thousand were in attendance, nor do I believe people go to KKK parades as innocent spectators.
As our own activist Shaun King tweeted, "Racism is taught."
Donald Trump is showing his true colors as taught to him by his father.
