    Over the past decade there are numerous Democratic politicians who have been exposed for supporting the KKK. This is not surprising since Democrats supported and built the KKK for over a century. Here is today's example... yep she enjoys belonging to the Nathan Bedford Forrest (KKK Founder) chapter.

    Indiana Democratic Party Chair Resigns Over Membership in Confederacy Group

    The chair of the Hendricks County Democratic Party has resigned after being asked about her membership in a local chapter of a Confederacy group.

    Charlotte Martin has been the party chair for almost eight years but said she felt she had to resign after the Indianapolis Star inquired about her involvement with the United Daughters of Confederacy (UDC). Martin said the negative attention from a potential article "would be a distraction for the good that the party does."

    The 79-year-old Georgia native had initially joined the UDC while living in her hometown.

    "It's just an ancestral organization, that's all I can tell you," she said. "In the South, you belong to organizations that have to do with your ancestry."

    When she moved to Indiana, she transferred her membership to the Cicero, Indiana-based Nathan Bedford Forrest chapter. Martin said she felt differently about UDC after moving states but does not remember when she disassociated from the group, which is known for spreading a pro-Confederacy version of the Civil War.

    "I just felt like it was not the right thing for me," she told the Star, "because that's not what my life is and, I should say, that's not what my life is based on."

    Her local chapter is named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate major general who also served as the first grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan. Martin told the newspaper she was not aware of Forrest's background when she became a member.

    Martin had previously been confronted about her UDC membership by Roger Day, a former Hendricks County Democratic Party member. Day said she refused to talk about her involvement with the organization and criticized her affiliation.

    "For someone to claim that they're a Democrat and claim that they're a supporter of the Confederacy in any way shouldn't be a Democrat," Day said.

    Martin, however, pointed out her efforts toward various civil rights projects. She said as a teacher she helped integrate the school system in Georgia and that she marched alongside Martin Luther King, Jr.

    Members of the Hendricks County Democratic Party who spoke with the Starsaid they perceived Martin to be an accepting person.

    "I've never seen Charlotte exhibit any prejudice or bias," Kathy Davia, one of the members, said.

    John Zody, the Indiana Democratic Party chair, confirmed her resignation to the Starand said the party "must always continue to look inward in an effort to continue building toward restorative justice" in the future.

    Newsweek reached out to the Indiana Democratic Party for comment but did not hear back before publication
     
  2. It's amazing to me that people do not know the KKK and the Democratic party are in cahoots.

    They even elected a black President
     
  4. Independent voters elected Obama and they are mostly white. White people elected him, not black people. Black people always vote Democratic because they don't know what they are doing. Democratic voters always vote Democratic which is scary since AOC and Omar are in the party now. God knows how far these radical leftist communist people can crawl up the political ladder.
