Nick Cannon Claims Democrats Are the ‘Party of the KKK’ on Amber Rose Interview

Nick Cannon said on his Big Drive show with Amber Rose that Democrats are “the party of the KKK,” and he added that he doesn’t subscribe to either party while expressing support for Donald Trump. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Cannon’s claim is historically contested: the KKK’s origins involved some post‑Civil War Democrats, but it was not created by the Democratic Party alone; Republicans founded the party in 1854, and Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation helped end slavery. The piece also covers Rose’s stance on party loyalty and Cannon’s unabashed political bluntness.
