| Description | For the past two weeks, the National Republican Congressional Committee has been hammering congressional candidate Mary Jo Kilroy as an out-oftouch liberal with a penchant for tax increases.
But an ally of the Ku Klux Klan?
The latest mailer from the Republican committee accuses Kilroy of siding with the hate group in a 1993 vote on allowing the Klan to hold a rally on the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr.
Kilroy was on the losing end of a 5-2 Columbus Board of Education vote encouraging the Capital Square Review and Advisory Board to deny the Klan the right to demonstrate at the Statehouse on King’s birthday. At the time, she said she detests the Klan but supports its right to demonstrate.
About 30 Klan members were met by 1,200 protesters at the Jan. 15, 1994, rally, which was largely nonviolent.
Kilroy spokeswoman Amanda Wurst called the flier a sign of Republican desperation. |
