IN a move that some see as irresponsible and disrespectful, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes interviewed KKK Imperial Wizard Frank Ancona on “All In,” and what he revealed is disturbing. The interview appeared in a segment labeled “Prepared for War.” Hayes began the interview asking Ancona about flyers that the KKK has been distributing in the Ferguson and St. Louis area that warn protesters that they have “awakened a sleeping giant” and that KKK members will use lethal force against them.Ancona responds to Hayes inquiry by stating that his group has recently received “hundreds of calls” from residents around St. Louis concerned about “random attacks on whites” and “police officers being threatened that their wives are going to raped.” He claims protestors have made those specific threats on social media. He also states that his group is prepared to launch an attack against Ferguson protestors, who he refers to as terrorists, as the grand jury deciding whether Officer Darren Wilson will be indicted for killing unarmed teen Michael Brown gets ready to announce their decision.
As if the promise to use lethal force against protestors was not enough, Ancona also states that KKK members have been in touch with local law enforcement, revealing that off the record, “A lot of them are very frustrated with how the governor has sided with the criminals in a lot of instances.” Although Ancona tries to backtrack, St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson, who came on later in the segment, did not directly refute Ancona’s claim.
