Report Questions Democrat MD Gov. Wes Moore’s Claim About His Family’s History ‘Fleeing’ the KKK

Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) used a story about his grandfather and the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) to help bolster his political career, which many believe includes a White House bid.

In a sweeping Hollywood-like saga, Moore claimed that his great-grandfather, Rev. James Thomas, a minister in Winnsboro, South Carolina, was forced to flee the States with his family, including Moore’s grandfather, who was just a boy, and return to his native Jamaica after being threatened by the klan.

Moore first shared the story in his  2014 memoir.
