Numerous posts to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have resurrected a claim that the president’s father was arrested during a 1927 Ku Klux Klan rally. Here is a fact check on this claim.
The claim: Fred Trump, President Donald Trump’s father, was arrested at a KKK rally in 1927to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have resurrected a claim that the president’s father was arrested during a 1927 Ku Klux Klan rally that turned violent in Queens, New York. The accusation first surfaced during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Among those arrested, the article identifies a man with the name and address of the home of Trump’s father in Jamaica, Queens. The article details the charges filed against six of the men. However, it does not identify any charges against the elder Trump and merely states that he “was discharged.” The information available in the New York Times article made it difficult to figure out whether Trump’s father was directly involved in the melee or was simply a bystander, falsely accused or otherwise the victim of mistaken identity during the chaotic event. There is no indication in the article that Trump’s father was a member or supporter of the KKK.
