The KKK have taken credit for Trump getting to the White House.

Former Klan leader – or Imperial Wizard – David Duke said “our people” had played a huge part ion getting Trump elected. After Trump was elected, Duke said it was “one of the most exciting nights of my life”.

Trump though has distanced himself from the organisation, calling their endorsement “repulsive”.

The KKK has been going in the States since the 1860s.

Currently there is reckoned to be around 6,000 members. The organisation is well known for its cross burnings and the distinctive white-robe costumes worn by members.
