The KKK has been around for many years and it is sometimes believed that some political officials are associated with this group. Some have admitted to it and usually they’re not voted to the office while seeking election. Others deny their involvement and association. No one knows for sure, if they are part of this group.
However, especially in the past it is believed that political figures have been directly associated with the KKK. Today political figures are more discreet about their affiliations with certain clubs and groups and so it is difficult to provide evidence that these candidates are associated with KKK. Since the KKK usually does not keep paperwork because they’re really a secret society it is hard to prove who is in that club.
