Trump, Neo-Nazis and the Klan
My dad, a war veteran and decorated police hero, used to divide men into men and “weasels.”
When Trump buoyed the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazis who had marched in Charlottesville with Tiki torches, Confederate flags, Nazi slogans, swastikas and banners reading “Jews will not replace us” — even as one of their leaders told a Vice News reporter how disgusting it was
that Trump’s “beautiful” blond daughter was married to a Jewish man — the president made it clear which category he is in.
At night, men skulked around in their Ku Klux Klan sheets, or what my sister, then 8, called “ghost outfits.”
The head of the local Klan, a man who delivered ice in the town, began mouthing off about how he didn’t want Jews in the neighborhood.
WASHINGTON — One lazy, sultry afternoon in 1947, two years after America helped trounce the Nazis,
my father arrived at our family’s modest summer house on the Severn River near the Naval Academy.
