A small town newspaper in Alabama published an editorial last week that called for the return of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) to block tax increases in the state.
The editorial was published on Thursday and Goodloe Sutton, publisher of the Democrat-Reporter newspaper in Linden, Ala., confirmed to the Montgomery Adviser on Monday that he wrote the column.
“Time for the Ku Klux Klan to night ride again,” the first line of the editorial reads. “Democrats in the Republican Party and Democrats are plotting to raise taxes in Alabama.”
Sutton writes that Democrats "do not understand how to eliminate expenses when money is needed in other areas."
"This socialist-communist ideology sounds good to the ignorant, the uneducated, and the simple-minded people," he added.
When asked about it by the Montgomery Adviser, Sutton repeated his writings, saying, “if we could get the Klan to go up there and clean out D.C., we'd all been better off.”

When asked if he felt it was appropriate for the publisher of a newspaper to call for the lynching of Americans, Sutton doubled down on his position.
"... It's not calling for the lynchings of Americans. These are socialist-communists we're talking about. Do you know what socialism and communism is?" Sutton said.

When asked if he recognized the KKK as a racist and violent organization, Sutton disagreed, comparing the Klan to the NAACP.
"A violent organization? Well, they didn't kill but a few people," Sutton said. "The Klan wasn't violent until they needed to be."
Sutton said he didn't know any Klan remaining in the area, stating most died out after the 1960s.
