Missouri Republican party fails to boot KKK-linked candidate from gubernatorial ticket
Judge declines to remove Darrell McClanahan, who claims one-year honorary membership in terror group, from GOP primary race
Fails to? Missouri is a very racist state with quite active KKK throughout. This was a conscious choice and not a failure.
My Grandmother was born there, she called "Misery" for a reason and no, it wasn't because of the weather.
I'm sure they colluded to place just enough votes to feign a desire to kick him off the ticket while ensuring he'd be allowed to run.
This was no failure. This was the goal. Conservatives are delighted and will prove this when he is elected.
Conservatives have proven time and time again that racist bigots are their most accurate representatives. Conservative voters are racist bigots and should be openly identified as such.
for real though, watch him get elected.
Why would that be a surprise?sounds perfect for that state :(
I think the depressing part is that no one would be surprised
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A long-shot Missouri gubernatorial candidate with ties to the Ku Klux Klan will stay on the Republican ticket, a judge ruled on Friday.
Cole county circuit court judge Cotton Walker denied a request by the Missouri GOP to kick Darrell McClanahan out of the August Republican primary.
Hundreds of candidates line up at the secretary of state’s Jefferson City office on filing day in Missouri, the first opportunity to officially declare candidacy.
The Missouri GOP accepted his party dues but denounced him after a former state lawmaker posted photos on social media that appear to show McClanahan making the Nazi salute.
In his decision, Walker wrote that the Republican party “has made clear that it does not endorse his candidacy, and it remains free to publicly disavow McClanahan and any opinions the plaintiff believes to be antithetical to its values”.
In a separate lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) last year, McClanahan claimed the organization defamed him by calling him a white supremacist in an online post.
