You see, my friends, this is why these left leaning "fact checkers" are not a good source for anything.
Nobody ever said that the Democrat party apparatus got together and said let's start a Hate the Black People group.
When someone says Democrats founded the KKK, that statement is true...not false. It says so right above.
