The mere existence of the KKK is enough cause for both alarm and questioning of our federal government as to why an outright racist, violently hateful organization has been allowed to exist for so long, but apparently, conservative media personality Tomi Lahren didn’t get that memo.Lahren appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Wednesday evening and when Noah shifted the conversation to her unfounded criticisms of the Black Lives Matter Movement, she foolishly tried to defend her tactic of describing the modern-day civil rights organization as “the new Ku Klux Klan.” “When the Black Lives Matter movement is going out with signs saying ‘fry em like bacon’ and ‘f the police,’ and when they’re going out and saying, ‘if you see a White person, target them,’…that is happening, Trevor,” she said.

The most cringe-worthy moment of Lahren’s spiel came when she attempted to minimize the KKK’s violent history of racist attacks, inhumane murders and torture.
“So, when that now becomes the narrative and you’re starting to loot, burn and riot….what did the KKK do?” Lahren asked. Naturally, her bogus question was met with a barrage of ‘boos’ from the audience and a puzzled look from Noah himself.
In an effort to remind Tomi Lahren and anyone else who seems to be suffering from a slight case of amnesia with regard to the history of violent crimes committed by the KKK in America, here’s a look at just a few of them.
1. Tulsa Race Riots – Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1921
Between 21 and 200 Black people were murdered after residents began rioting when a Black man was accused of raping a White woman. Tulsa KKK founder W. Tate Brady participated in the riot.
2. Murder Of Emmett Till – Money, Mississippi 1955
Emmett Till was a 14-year-old Black boy who was badly beaten before being fatally shot and thrown in the Tallahatchie River by two White men for allegedly flirting with a White woman while visiting a local store.
