With just days to go until the presidential election, Donald Trump has scooped up the support of another national publication. Only this time, he doesn't have much to brag about — The Crusader, which published a front-page piece raving about Trump, is the official paper of the Ku Klux Klan.

Trump's campaign did not hesitate to disavow the KKK's support, writing: "Mr. Trump and the campaign denounces hate in any form. This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign." Earlier this year, Trump came under fire for a drawn out lead-up to his eventual disavowal of the support of former KKK grand wizard David Duke.
