I have the perfect solution. Move all the Confederate statues to the Mar a Lago grounds and hold all alt right, KKK, and Nazi rallys there from now on.

At least 20 organizations have canceled fundraisers and events at President Donald Trump (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/donald-trump)’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida ― many after his tirade last week defending the white nationalist, KKK and neo-Nazi groups (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-charlottesville-statement_us_59935477e4b009141640ab00) that sparked deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.The exodus began on Thursday, when the Cleveland Clinic and the American Cancer Society pulled their annual galas at Mar-a-Lago (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/american-cancer-cleveland-clinic-mar-a-lago_us_5995dd24e4b01f6e801ce093) after Trump blamed “both sides” for the violence caused by a white supremacist gathering in Charlottesville. By Friday, more than a half-dozen other groups (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/nonprofits-mar-a-lago-trump_us_599735e9e4b0a2608a6c44de) had also announced they would not hold events at the resort.

Over the weekend, several more organizations followed suit, bringing the number of groups disassociating themselves from Trump’s property up to 20, the Palm Beach Post reported on Monday (http://postonpolitics.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2017/08/21/charities-bail-on-mar-a-lago-after-trump-charlottesville-comments/).

The Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society pulled its 2018 Tropical Safari Gala from Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, citing “distractions.”

“We have an unyielding commitment to inspire people to act on behalf of wildlife and the natural world,” the zoo’s CEO and president, Andrew Aiken, said in a statement (http://www.palmbeachzoo.org/zoo-gala-move-from-mar-a-lago). “After thoughtful consideration by Zoo leadership, we have decided it is important that we not allow distractions to deter us from our mission and culture.”

There’s been growing corporate fallout (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-business-moral_us_599742f7e4b0e8cc855dc014) over Trump’s widely condemned response to the violence in Charlottesville. He took 48 hours (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-charlottesville-white-nationalists_us_5991cd41e4b09071f69b7d39?fab) to directly denounce the white nationalist groups that incited the violence, and during a fiery press conference just a day later, said there were “very fine people” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-news-conference-charlottesville_us_59935814e4b04b19336105d5?bej) among the white supremacist protesters.

Two lies in one sentence :thumbsup:

"for the violence caused by a white supremacist gathering in Charlottesville"

Again if the counter protesters hadn't been there this would have been a non issue.

Robert Byrd was not a Grand Wizzard. He was a Grand Cyclops. He was the top recruiter of the KKK.

The Democrats stand for racism, segregation and disunity. That's the origin of their power.

Long ago yes. Things have changed. Why do you think David duke, you know, the former grand wizard of the kkk? Has been a fan of Trump all along and even felt the need to remind him "who got him elected" right after Trump's grudging second take at addressing the Charlottesville tragedy?

Today's white supremacist Nazis are republicans.
