First, a disclaimer: I am realist/progressive in my political outlook, and therefore find this article (the correspondent's comments) unabashedly staggering in its profound stupidity.

In brief, he states that it is irrelevant that Trump didn't disavow the KKK, because the whole KKK and its ideology is a left wing plot that was set up to entrap Trump. Furtherore, I think he is implying that the various senators and congressmembers in office, who espouse progressive, left wing ideologies like "supporting Franklin Roosevelt, are hateful murderous KKK members.

" ..... it is a racist hate group from the left. And that counts. That is important to understand. It is not conservative. It has nothing to do with conservatism. All of these Klan members who have been elected to Congress and U.S. Senate and governorships over the years, supporting Franklin Roosevelt because they like Social Security. Let's get our history straight."
So. Your thoughts? Is this just some witless drone, spouting nonsense in an effort to deflect the press from Trump's guilt. Or could some people ACTUALLY think of the KKK as anything other than an extreme conservative right-wing group? If so, then what could motivate their thoughts down that alley?
