A few days ago, this story on Montana white supremacist John Abarr made the news for his somewhat unique recruiting strategy to boost the ranks of his KKK group:
John Abarr claims he is a reformed man, which is why he’s started a new KKK group called the Rocky Mountain Knights. Though he won’t say exactly how many members this new KKK group has, the organization will not discriminate against people because of race, religion or sexual orientation.
“The KKK is for a strong America,” Abarr said. “White supremacy is the old Klan. This is the new Klan.”
Which brings us to comedian D.L. Hughley who thought this trollish story would make great material for a new joke bashing Republicans:
The KKK is opening up to minorities, Gays, and Jews! We already have white supremacists that pretend 2 like minorities, Republicans! #TeamDl

Classy. Hughley continued:
The only way the KKK is going to get Black ppl to come in is if they change their initials to KFC! #TeamDl

Unless the sheets they use are 800 thread count, the KKK ain't getting any gays to join! #TeamDl

Sorry, D.L. Just because you later make totally unfunny jokes about African-Americans and gays does not make your tweet about Republicans any less heinous or wrong.
