Trump’s ‘disgraceful defense’ of the Klan

I first registered and voted as a Republican in 1976, and my wife and I've have voted Republican most times since.

But that is all done.We just watched President Trump’s latest disgraceful defense of the Ku Klux Klan. When the Republican Party has had enough of this stupidity, we'll be back. But for now we’re Democrats and we’re going to vote the straight Democratic ticket right down the line.
