Democratic Alabama lawmakers are calling for the editor and publisher of a local Alabama newspaper to resign after he penned an op-ed last week calling for the Ku Klux Klan to raid and lynch Democrats in Washington, D.C. Goodloe Sutton, once a widely respected reporter, has confirmed he authored the piece in the print-only publication, which was headlined “Klan Needs to Ride Again.” In the editorial, Sutton wrote, “Democrats in the Republican Party and Democrats are plotting to raise taxes in Alabama. … This socialist-communist ideology sounds good to the ignorant, the uneducated, and the simple-minded people.”
