Trump sued for Capitol attack under ‘Ku Klux Klan Act’
2021-02-17
[IsraelTimes] A senior Democratic congressman sues former US president Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
, accusing him of violating the 19th century "Ku Klux Klan Act" by supporting the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.

Bennie Thompson
D, of course, representing Jackson, Mississippi and environs...
accuses Trump, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and krazed killer groups the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers of violating the 1871 act by supporting efforts to stop Congress from certifying Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
 as the new US president.

Thompson, who is Black and the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, cites a law originally created to protect the rights of African Americans after the Civil War and the end of slavery.
Goodness. They must be really desperate to keep The Donald silent if they’re trying something this silly.
The lawsuit is filed in federal court in Washington two days after Trump was acquitted of supporting insurrection in an impeachment trial in the Senate.
