Residents in the Indiana cities of Goshen, South Bend, Elkhart, Carmel, Westfield, among others, are finding flyers scattered in their yards and on sidewalks claiming to be from a Kentucky chapter of the KKK.
An obvious ploy to capitalize on the fear many residents are feeling following the election of Donald Trump and of nativists candidates like Mike Braun, Micah Beckwith, Jim Banks in Indiana.
This group from Kentucky also appears to be responsible for other flyers targeting Haitian migrants that were dumped in Ohio. I called the number on the flyer and it goes straight to voicemail that says in part, “we are a group of men, women, and children dedicated to the protection and advancement of the white race.” While a mayor and a trustee located in areas where flyers were dropped have issued statements, congressional and state representatives have been quiet.
There was another round of flyers distributed that are even more horrifically racist and offensive, if you can believe it, than the images shared in this post so I won’t even share them here. Founded by William Marcus Bader in 2012, this Kentucky chapter seems to really relish in the attention they receive by distributing their little messages. This guy. This one is advocating for the “advancement” of the white race. Rational Americans were rooting against this guy before we saw his pic.
