Once Again, Florida Serves Up Campaign Crazy: Ex-KKK Leader Running For Mayor
Doesn’t it feel like forever since that witch lady ran for Senate? Well rest easy, folks, we’ve got some classic candidate crazy thanks to our friend in Florida. John Paul Rogers is running for mayor of Lake Wales, and he’s pretty ticked off at his opponent’s dirty tricks. What’d the other guy do? Well, for starters, he mentioned Rogers’ past membership in the Ku Klux Klan. C’mon! How’s that even relevant? “It’s a shame that in a small city like Lake Wales where most everyone knows one another you have this kind of muckraking and character assassination,” Rogers complained to Tampa station WTSP.
I mean, geez, that’s like ancient history. Rogers says he quit the Klan years ago. Now sure, he wasn’t just a member, he was Grand Dragon. And his tenure in that leadership role’s led to some nasty charges in the Lake Wales mayor’s race:
“My opponent’s been going around saying I hung somebody in the park two years ago. Well, we have a city ordinance against that and I’m sure the police would have put me in jail if I would have done that.”
Here’s the story, from WTSP:
