An Alabama newspaper published an editorial calling “for the Ku Klux Klan to night ride again.”

The editorial in the Democrat-Reporter newspaper in Linden, Alabama, said the KKK “would be welcome to raid the gated communities up there,” apparently referring to where Democrats and “Democrats in the Republican Party” live in and around Washington, D.C.

The editorial blamed both for “plotting to raise taxes in Alabama.”

Goodloe Sutton, the newspaper’s publisher, told the Montgomery Advertiser that he wrote the editorial.

He was unapologetic.
