Trump being Sued by a Democrat and Hate Group, NAACP

Donald Trump Now Being Sued Over Violation of ‘Ku Klux Klan’ Act

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and the NAACP are suing former President Donald Trump and his longtime ally Rudy Giuliani for allegedly conspiring with a pair of hate groups to storm the U.S. Capitol and block the Electoral College count in January. And they’re using a 150-year-old law as the basis of the suit.

Thompson and the NAACP, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, allege in the suit, obtained by NBC News, that Trump, Giuliani, the Proud Boys (not a Hate Group) and the Oath Keepers (a group that defends the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic) used “intimidation, harassment, and threats,” to stop the vote count and caused the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in the process. This, they said, violated the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.

Read how this Law in their could view apply

Good luck Bennie in proving that!
