Nick Cannon Calls the Democratic Party the ‘Party of the KKK’ and Says ‘I F— With Trump’
Nick Cannon let his politics be known on the latest episode of his online talk show “Big Drive” (via TMZ), called the Democratic Party “the party of the KKK”.
After his guest, model Amber Rose, said Democrats “don’t care about people of color and Republicans do,” Cannon responded: “I agree with you 100%. People don’t know the Democrats are the party of the KKK. People don’t know the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves. So you and I both have some conservative views. You’re a little more outspoken than I am. And honestly, I don’t subscribe to either party. When he said there are no two parties, it’s just a bad party with two different names. WEB I agree with Du Bois.

When discussing Donald Trump’s second term, Cannon enthusiastically declared that he was “cleaning the son of a bitch’s house” and adding that “he’s doing what he said he was going to do.”
“We now have the Gulf of America,” Cannon added. “It’s like that club. It charges a $5 million bottle service fee to get into the country.”
Although some factions of the Democratic Party were responsible for the rise of the KKK in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, it is not widely believed that the entire party supported the formation of the white supremacist group. Cannon was partly right about the history of Republicans. The party was founded by anti-slavery activists in the early 50s. In 1861, Republican Party member Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves living in non-Union states. However, slavery was not abolished in the United States until the House of Representatives passed the 13th Amendment in 1865, which was later ratified by a state majority.
