Bash highlighted the history of violence perpetrated by the KKK against Black people, including lynchings, rapes, and murders.
“How, in any way, are the views you’re talking about comparable to the views and atrocities committed by the KKK?” she asked the presidential hopeful.
“What I said is the grand wizards of the KKK would be proud of what they would hear her say,” Ramaswamy answered, “because there’s nothing more racist than saying that your skin color predicts something about the content of your viewpoints or your ideas.”
Bash fired back, pointing out: “You didn’t just say they would be proud … You said these are the words of the modern grand wizards of the modern KKK.”
