I'm surprised to hear he ran for office on the Democratic ticket. (I did not check, I'll take your word for it.)
I thought all of the KKK had switched to the Republicans when Civil Rights came in. I guess some didn't. As I have said on many occasions politicians are not honest and will do anything to get what they want. The Republicans need some of the Mexican vote to make it. They don't like them as they have made clear; but they are starting to court them and will say anything to get re-elected. Democrats are any better, Republicans just have a much better PR staff.
