The KKK has planned a Trump 'victory' rally in North Carolina


The Ku Klux Klan has made no secret of its enthusiastic support for President-elect Donald Trump — its official newspaper endorsed him, for example — and former grand wizard David Duke has been triumphal on Twitter after the election. Now, the Loyal White Knights of the KKK in North Carolina has announced plans for a "Victory Klavalkade Klan Parade" on Dec. 3 at an undisclosed time and place, The Charlotte News & Observer reports, and the group's site declares in all-caps: "Trump's race united my people."
