Today's NOT from The Onion:
Life:
GREAT FALLS, Mont. — One of Montana's most well-known white supremacists is recruiting members for a new Ku Klux Klan, one which he said will be all-inclusive and shows he no longer holds supremacist views.
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."
Though he's long been involved in white supremacy organizations growing up in Wyoming and Montana, Abarr, of Great Falls, Mont., claims his opinions have slowly evolved. Last year he met with members of the NAACP in Casper, Wyo. It has inspired him to organize a peace summit with the NAACP and other religious groups in the summer of 2015.
"I thought it was a really good organization," Abarr told the NAACP. "I don't feel we need to be separate."
