“Fox and Friends” host Brian Kilmeade on Wednesday repeated his complaint about how the Democratic Party used to be the party of the KKK but yet the current GOP lacks Black voter support.
You gotta be fucking kidding me
Wow, that’s mighty white of you, Brian.
Yeah, about 1860, and the GOP has been going downhill ever since.
Brian…if you haven’t figured it out by now then why should anyone waste time trying to explain to you using small words you can understand.
"So somehow I guess in the ‘60s things all reversed.”
Maybe that’s because your party made a conscious decision to appeal to the bigots fleeing the Democratic party en masse? Maybe that’s because Nixon embraced the Southern stategy?
Just spitballing, here, sparky.
“somehow that narrative flipped.”
"So somehow I guess in the ‘60s things all reversed.”
Well, Duh!
the Democratic Party “gave birth to the Ku Klux Klan.”
White Southerners gave birth to the KKK and that particular locus of evil has not changed. They used to call themselves Democrats, now they call themselves Republicans.
White conservatives gave birth to the KKK. And yes, a lot of them were Southerners.
Well, gee, Brian, it couldn’t be because (after a shakeout starting slowly in '50s, accelerating in the late '60s and '70s, and pretty much ending by the '90s), the KKK faction of the Democratic Party all became Republicans? (See, for example, Thurmond, Strom.) The Republicans have been pushing this ridiculously disingenuous narrative for years.
Kilmeade and his ilk are so deep into the wingnut bubble that they actually don’t see and can’t understand reality.

Hey Kilmeade, didn’t the “KKK” in the Dem Party became the RethugniCON Party?
So now that by design, RethugniCON Party has only a few AA/Black Voters…the BFF of your Dear Racist Leader - Kanye is now running for prez and pretending to denounce Trump so that he can take away the Black votes from Biden!
BTW Kilmeade, please tell your racist viewers about the CAREN Act bill in CA!
Not for nothing is Brian known by the Fox and Friends crew as “Commodore Dimwit.”
So Brain Killme just figured out that the Guardians Of Pandemics went all-in racist in the '60s. But has he noticed they’ve grown to be more of a Klan every year?
Oh, fuck you, Kilmeade.
The GOP hasn’t been the "party of Lincoln" for an eternity, and that “Democrats were the party of the KKK!” only cuts it with the MAGATs and the rest of the FoxToons asylum.
The GOP isn’t even the party of Robert E. Lee.
The GOP has become the party of Nathan Bedford Forrest.
Brian Kilmeade, who always ceases to amaze me, has the intellectual presence of tofu. He lives in a twelve year-old’s version of reality when it comes to politics. He is liable to say anything that pops into his head without the least bit of reflection or appeal to history, science or anything else we normally use to shape our world view. The fact that the man has a regular job at Fox News speaks volumes about the fact that their aim is entertainment (!), not informing the public with real news and allowing their viewers to truly decide. And, with that, I will gladly accept the award for the most obvious observation of the day!
Sorry, Kilmeade doesn’t get it once again. The Democratic South did partially contained the KKK but when Senate Majority Leader Johnson passed the initial civil rights bill in the late 1950’s before the major legislation of the mid-1960’s, the Dixiecrats, a group of Southern politicians who formed in opposition to Truman’s integration efforts in the late 1940’s left the Democratic Party in mass and became Republicans (gee, I wonder why?).
Why doesn’t the Republican Party have more southern Black support (as if its a monolithic entity)? I suggest you read Gilbert King’s “Devil in the Grove” for an initial reminder.
Gotta wonder if Brian is familiar with Barry Goldwater and Nixon’s southern strategy?
Apparently reading a little history is difficult.
Its really difficult to determine who is the more ignorant blowhard, Kilmeade or Kanye West.
Kanye has a mental disorder. Kilmeade is an idiot.
