Like I said, election rhetoric meant to smear the opponent.

Voters are smarter than this. Voters care more about the real issues that are affecting them (jobs, economy, etc). They don't care who the KKK is voting for. The result of the election have shown that.

Huh? My point was that the KKK really was supporting Trump, whereas it was not really supporting Hillary.

We have no way of knowing whether they genuinely support Trump, or whether they did actually support Hillary like they claimed to. It's all election smearing and rhetoric, which voters don't care about, as the election results have shown.

They didn't claim to support Hillary; see link. David Duke did, however, endorse Trump.

I understand.

They claimed to have donated $20,000 to Hillary. The website claimed the claim is false.

We will never know, but more importantly, the voters didn't really care who the KKK was supporting, as the election results have shown.

We know that David Duke supported Trump. We don't know of anyone associated with the KKK supporting Hillary. That the voters don't care is to their discredit.

We do know of Hillary's mentor, he claimed to have left the KKK. We know of other KKK Grand Master who have claimed to have donated to Hillary. It's all just claims and accusations to smear the opposite opponents in the election cycle. These are not important issues. Voters knows these are just election smears.

Nope, we know for sure that David Duke endorsed trump. Everything else you're referencing is baseless speculation.

But we also know that the KKK donated $20,000 to Hillary.
