Editor of Alabama newspaper calls for of KKK 'to night ride again'
A small Alabama newspaper has advocated for the resurgence of America's most feared white supremacist terrorist organisation, the Ku Klux Klan.
An editorial published last week by The Democrat-Reporter begins with the line: "Time for the Ku Klux Klan to night ride again."
The editorial says Democrats and "Democrats in the Republican Party" are plotting to raise taxes in Alabama, so the Klan should raid the "gated communities" where they live.
The editor and publisher of the Linden paper, Goodloe Sutton, told the Montgomery Advertiser that he wrote the February 14 opinion piece and stands by it.
During an interview, Mr Sutton suggested lynchings as a way to clean up Washington.
He also questioned whether the KKK is violent, saying it "didn't kill but a few people".
