(J. the Jewish News of Northern California via JTA) – Recruitment flyers for the Ku Klux Klan that also espoused false claims made by President Donald Trump alleging fraud in November’s election were found outside more than a dozen homes and businesses in a small Northern California town. The flyers, which were discovered over the weekend in Tulelake, advertised the Loyal White Knights sect of the hate group. They were weighted down in rice-filled Ziploc bags and tossed into front yards, Police Chief Tony Ross said. The Loyal White Knights, a virulently racist and antisemitic group based in North Carolina, is “perhaps the most active Klan group in the United States,” according to to a 2016 report from the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism titled “Tattered Robes.”

The flyers said “The KKK Wants You!” with a picture of a hooded klansman pointing a la Uncle Sam. They advertised a weekly call-in talk show and the web address for the Loyal White Knights. “The radical Left,” the flyers read, “is giving Your hard earned money To countries and programs That are benefiting their Communist agenda instead Of Helping the American people Keep a roof over their heads.” Referring to the voting in November, the flyers said that “The Democrats pulled every foul trick in the book to steal this election from Trump! The Fight is not over! Ballots are still being counted!”
