@walterbays I thought of same thing.
It's my belief, this is the reason he's choosing the Garden.
that’s so gross tho
@peeppeepcircus @Maude In the 1930s the Nazis worked together with the KKK. My grandfather was a reporter who infiltrated them working on an expose. They kidnapped him and buried him alive.
(Ps, he survived)
@peeppeepcircus @Maude First thing he did after he was exhumed was rush to the newspaper office to work on his story. He didn't take warnings well.
I get it though. Damn that sounds like a good read.
@peeppeepcircus @Maude I never found his articles as the publisher didn't give bylines to low level reporters. But here's some related reading.
@peeppeepcircus Sorry for the bad link. Try searching for:

In 1910 Ameringer led the fight against Oklahoma's adoption of the so-called grandfather clause, which was introduced by the Democrats to eliminate black suffrage.
...the American Guardian from 1931 to 1941, developed a national circulation. Ameringer waged a high-profile campaign in the Leader against the Ku Klux Klan, which was highly influential in Oklahoma during the early 1920s.
@peeppeepcircus @Maude My favorite Ameringer quote:
[Politics is] "the art by which politicians obtain campaign contributions from the rich and votes from the poor on the pretext of protecting each from the other."

i think the link got sanitized
