Although I exist in a ‘world of words,’ actions have far more credence than idle rhetoric. This is why it’s fair to label people and things based on how the act or perform. This is why I constantly refer to Trump, John Kelly, Jeff Sessions, and Steven Miller as ‘white supremacists.’ By their words, and most importantly their actions, they have revealed their racism, bigotry, and prejudiced beliefs.

Although they have not offered indisputable evidence, the group ‘Anonymous’ released the names of four other Republican senators who are members of KKK affiliated groups. If you know how these old, white men vote, and how they idolize ‘Fuhrer Donald Trump,’ you can understand why this is not only possible, it’s realistic.

John Cornyn is the senior Senator from one of the reddest states in our nation; Texas. It is no surprise that he blindly supports Trump’s destructive agenda. Cornyn allegedly belongs to the United White Knights Of The Ku Klux Klan.

Thom Tillis is a senator from North Carolina, another very red state. Anonymous claims that he is a member of the United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Thornton.

John Hardy is a senator from Georgia. No surprise here; Georgia is bright red. Hardy allegedly belongs to the Original Knight Riders Of the KKK.

Dan Coats is from Indiana. Under Governor Mike Pence, his state was the first state to enact ‘anti-gay’ legislation. Throughout history, parts of Indiana were included in the term ‘Deep South.’ He allegedly belongs to the United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

I was not surprised by these 2015 accusations. If you have ever resided in these states, or others which glow red, you know that although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was intended to become the means to an end of racism and segregation, it was an illusion. Whether it is in the privacy of their homes, or in numerous public locations, racism is rampant in red states. Most of the citizens of these states wear this label as a badge of honor.

I have never been able to justify the fact that a single minority or a single independent woman would live in any of these states.

Today hate groups have an illegitimate president leading their cause. Is there any reason why you might be confused why I am no longer proud to be an American?
