and a david duke, a former grand wizard of the ku klux klan also made comments supporting trump on his radio show. i'm joined now by my panel. what is the correct punctuation of your name. >> potoks right.

julia and julian harris came to with a specific goal in mind, to fight the rise of the ku klux klan. in the 1920's, it was becoming resurgent across america. its earlierast to form immediately after the civil war, this had a much broader focus. not only did it want to terrorize african americans, but it also targeted catholics, jews, and immigrants. this version of the klan was also much more interested in getting involved in local and state politics to try to enact policies that fit with their prejudiced views. when the harrises arrived in columbus in the city 1920, commissioner and mayor made a statement that said in effect, the klan was a boon to any city where it was located, which indicates the level of support the kkk was receiving through a fictional -- through official channels. however, they specifically set klan in thet the south. julian and his wife julia were natives of atlanta. julian was the son of the author of the uncle remus and brer rabbit stories. julia had grown up as a socialite in atlanta before marrying julian harris. these were people who loved their state but

>> former ku klux klan leader david duke described trump as the best in the lot. the neonazi website daily stormer says trump is the only candidate talking about anything at all that matters and white nationalist organization white ren zant says trump might be the last hope for a president that would be good for white people. when asked why he is getting this kind of support trump says he doesn't need it. >> a lot of people like me, even an gel cals like me, democrats, liberals, conservatives like me. >> reporter: a campaign stop in south carolina, he was asked again. >> you seem to be a lot of support or growing support from c radical groups, white supremacist groups, what do you think about that. >> you are telling me about something i did not know about. >> he stereo types that degrade people like latinos. so while donald trump is not a hard core hate monger at all, he is someone who is not above using messages that appeal to those who are.

but the other thing was it proposed abolishing the ku klux klan. this was the same year that president eisenhower sent troops in to integrate central high school in little rock. it was a year after clement sent the national guard to help integrate clinton high school in tennessee. and at that time boys's state was still segregated. there weren't any african-american boys there. so it was all white. so looking back, you know, to talk about abolishing the ku klux klan in 1957 to an all white boys's state is something that -- i'm proud to be reminded of, quite frankly. >> and there's a letter from howard baker in your office thanking you for your participation. is that the first time you met howard baker? >> well, it is his father. congressman howard baker. that was the district i grew up in. that was my first visit to washington. i was at boys's nation. and i didn't know where to find him. i remember now. i went over to the lunch line at the house of representatives and i asked some people which one is is congressman baker? and they pointed him out.

to quote my ku colleague adrian lewis, the most significant development in the conduct of war in the 20th century was the elimination of the american people from the conduct of the wars of the united states. i am confident in fact that adrian would incorporate the first 15 years of the 21st century internet generalization. -- into that generalization. in sharp contrast, world war ii, even for those who did not have family members in uniform, generated such direct involvement in the war and such deeply felt engagement with the issues and concerns of the day that as beaver concludes, "no other period marked, changed or ended so many people's lives as world war ii." they were americans who lived or forever served as a standard of direct of immediate involvement with moral choices, deceptions -- perceptions of sacrifice, and a struggle against forces seen as a threat to personal freedom and indeed, the survival of nations. of course, their memories of wartime, perhaps predictably ignored or romanticized negative aspects of a "good war." widespread waste and corruption associated with the
