There were plenty of interesting factoids to come out of the recent JFK files release: The CIA considered mob hits on Fidel Castro, someone called the FBI threatening to kill Lee Harvey Oswald a day before Oswald’s murder, and the U.S. examined sabotaging airplane parts heading to Cuba.
There was even proof that the CIA used journalists and media figures to spread propaganda.

Additionally, we got confirmation that President Kennedy’s successor following his assassination, Lyndon B. Johnson, was possibly a member of the KKK.
One of the newly released files contains a memo about a journalist named Ned Touchstone, who was an editor of The Councilor, the newsletter of the racist White Citizens’ Councils.
Touchstone claimed the Ku Klux Klan had “documented proof” that LBJ had been a member of the Klan in the early days of his political career in Texas.
President LBJ was in the KKK, just putting that out there. Not Donald Trump, but democratic hero Lyndon B Johnson = KKK

JFK documents show LBJ was member of KKK another racist Democrat. His great society has kept blacks poor for decades. https://t.co/QhyDdTW3pQ

LBJ was very typical of Dems & KKK'rs then AND now. Racist to the core. Pathetic isn't it? pic.twitter.com/2UYF2Slfqz

KKK was started by Democrats. Just released in the JFK files, LBJ was one himself! And Hillary's mentor Sen. Byrd too.

That Johnson would have been a member of the Klan wouldn’t be much of a surprise, frankly. As a member of the Senate, he fought vigorously against civil rights legislation favored by President Eisenhower and Republicans. Early in his political career, Johnson was guilty of all kinds of statements in support of Jim Crow laws in the South.

This isn’t verified proof that Johnson was indeed part of the Klan. But given the political circumstances from which he rose (deep South, Democrat-dominated Texas), it’s not that far-fetched. In fact, more likely than not, Johnson mixed around with a racist crowd to get his political start.
Consider that in the context of this anti-Barry Goldwater 1964 presidential campaign commercial…

It wouldn’t surprise me with what he said about ‘the [blacks] voting democrat for the next hundred years’ after signing the Equal Rights Amendment.

How does this shock anyone? The left is great at trying to finger anyone but themselves as to try and deflect what they are actually doing. My brother, growing up, use to do it all the time. Guilty people just act weird. Hence, guilty=Democrats.

LBJ was the one who, instead of siding with the Republicans to give blacks the right to VOTE, he traded “government gifts” to blacks for their votes! They deserved the right to vote and LBJ KNEW that the Republicans would WIN! So he USED their “equal rights” plans to sell out the blacks! Bragging that he would have them voting democrat for a hundred years! Just FYI; Another certain Presidents family from the deep South was a KKK member also! AND owned slaves! Of course democrats STILL use blacks as slaves for their dirty jobs! AND their votes!

Nope. It was founded by six twentysomething ex-soldiers who had no political parties.

Wasn’t the KKK. founded by the Democrats, no doubt about it.

Exactly, it doesn’t. It says some klown CLAIMS to have evidence and that klown is kkklan not exactly known to be a reliable source. Kind of problematic is that Johnson FOUGHT the Klan, which pushes the claim beyond absurd. One has to wonder which Russian troll farm plopped this one out.
You could be alone and you still wouldn’t be the smartest person in the room. Read your history, Democrats FOUNDED the KKK. Democrats hated black people. Democrats killed the one person who tirelessly gave the blacks freedom. Guy by the name of Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President. Being stupid isn’t a crime, but listening to you, it should be.

What a load of HORSE MANURE! Where does it say in the above document that President Johnson was a member of the KKK? More TRUMP followers trying to create diversions to save their Fuhrer, Herr Trump!

Now THAT makes sense! All lbj’s “great society” did was put blacks
on a welfare plantation. They are far worse off now then in 1945.
I’ll have them ……. voting Democrat for the next two hundred years.

Not a big surprise at all. He was responsible for killing JFK & likely Bobby Kennedy too.
