Among the small number of American newspapers that have embraced Donald Trump's campaign, there is one, in particular, that stands out.
It's called the The Crusader — and it's the official newspaper of the Ku Klux Klan.
Under the banner "Make America Great Again," the paper's current issue devoted its entire front page to a lengthy defense of Trump's message -- an embrace some have labeled a de facto endorsement.
"'Make American Great Again!' It is a slogan that has been repeatedly used by Donald Trump in his campaign for the presidency," The Crusader's Pastor Thomas Robb wrote. "You can see it on the shirts, buttons, posters and ball caps such as the one being worn here by Trump speaking at a recent rally . . . But can it happen? Can America really be great again? This is what we will soon foundd out!"
"While Trump wants to make America great again, we have to ask ourselves, 'What made America great in the first place?'" the article continues. "The short answer to that is simple. America was great not because of what our forefathers did — but because of who are forefathers were.
America was founded as a White Christian Republic. And as a White Christian Republic it became great."
Reached by phone, Robb told The Washington Post that while the paper wasn't officially endorsing Trump, the article signaled the publication's enthusiastic support for his candidacy.
