Howell Michigan

So why did Trump choose to speak in a small town halfway between Lansing and Detroit. Last month they just happened to march in Howell chanting We Love Hitler We Love Trump. It is also where the Grand Wizard of the MI KKK lives. Things you won't see mentioned on CNN NPR or NYT.

I wonder if they are capable of coordinating anything besides crazy terrorist activities.

I tried to track down video of this (because, after all, we have 3-4 different angles of the Flowing Cape Dude at the Greek last weekend), and all I came up with was a brief and somewhat questionable drive-by clip of one person saying "We Love Hitler We Love Trump." There is still some toxic shit in Howell, MI, but Talking Points Memo seems a bit hyperbolic in their reporting.
Here's a link to the source video; scroll just a bit to get to it in the middle of the page: https://thelivingstonpost.com/officials-decry-saturdays-demonstrators-in...

The question is with 70+ days left till the election why in the hell would Trump fly across the country to a small town in the middle of no where - to a town that holds a special place in the hearts of white supremacists to give a speech in a garage to talk about crime and safety. He should at least be asked why are you in Howell?

That's a good question, and I'm thinking you already know the answer. Trump needs to remind them to Stand back and stand by.

It's like if someone held an event in front of 710 Ashbury. Every Dead Head would instantly know the connection, but most people would have no idea. You hold an event in Howell to send a message to white supremacists to let them know you are one of them, and you get away with it because the press ignores it.

I read this interesting article this morning about Howell. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-howell-michigan-speech...
From the article:
I don’t remember when I first learned about Howell’s association with the Ku Klux Klan. I’m not a native of Michigan; my family moved there the year I turned 12. But by the time I was in college, it was a readily understood “joke” among my friends that there’d be no stopping for gas in Howell if I was in the car. I would stare at the signage on the interstate as we’d cruise past, grateful the tank was nowhere near empty.
In the 1970s and ’80s, at the peak of the city’s links to the white supremacist movement, Robert Miles, the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, had a Howell mailing address and was known to hold rallies on a nearby farm property. Black residents of nearby Detroit knew full well not to set foot in the town, a belief that — if it hasn’t expired — lasted at minimum deep into the early 2000s.
