Nick Cannon is going viral after giving insight into his political stance.
The entertainer made the remarks during the latest episode of his show "Nick Cannon's Big Drive," released on Friday, March 27, where he spoke with model Amber Rose, who is also a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump.
"People don't know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK," Cannon, 45, said. "People don't know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves."
The claim that the Democratic Party is to blame for the creation of the Ku Klux Klan is misleading, and a trope against the current Democratic Party that has been circulating for years, as USA TODAY reported in 2020.
“At the core of the effort to discredit the current Democratic Party is the refusal to accept the realignment of the party structure in the mid-20th century,” Princeton University Edwards Professor of American History Tera Hunter said at the time.
