The Laurel County sheriff’s office said it has no confirmation of social media and state Democratic Party reports that the Ku Klux Klan allegedly distributed threatening brochures in the Lily community, about seven miles south of London.
Deputy Gilbert Acciardo told KyCIR he knew of no information verifying the reports. The sheriff’s office had not received any complaints from Lily residents about such flyers as of midday Tuesday.
Acciardo said the only call to his office pertaining to a Klan brochure was from another part of the county and involved a lone “recruitment” document that contained nothing of a threatening nature.
Yesterday evening, a Kentucky Democratic Party spokesman sent a KyCIR reporter an email with two images and a claim that the “fliers were left at many homes” of “people who didn’t have a Trump sign in their yard” in Laurel County.
The images showed a brochure stating, “BEWARE: The Klan is watching and we do not like what you’re doing!”
As of this 10:30 a.m., the Attorney General’s fraud hotline had not received any reports from Laurel County.
