Former KKK Leader Plans to Run for Commissioner of a Georgia County as a ‘White Civil
Rights Activist’
So all kind of people with all kinds of backgrounds have run for various public offices in government and when it comes to the position of commissioner for one of the counties in Georgia well one candidate has a pretty interesting background.
Chester Doles, 61 years old, is a known former leader of the invisible Empire Knights of the KKK in Maryland. He has also been to prison twice, convicted for the beating of a Black man in Maryland back in 1993 and another time for weapons violations in Georgia where he spent four years in federal prison.
And get this, Chester wants to be known as “The White Civil Rights Activist” and one of his messages on the campaign trail is “This sick insane culture of wokeness is destroying America. These people want us gone. We American patriots are the new most endangered species.”
