A Missouri judge on Friday ruled that a self-avowed former 'honorary' member of the Ku Klux Klan can remain on the state's Republican primary ballot for governor, despite Missouri Republicans seeking to keep him off the ballot. 'The Plaintiff did not present to the Court any evidence that having McClanahan on a primary election ballot would cause it any injury,' wrote circuit court Judge Cotton Walker in a ruling.
' NBC News has not independently verified the photos of McClanahan, but the candidate confirmed their veracity to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, according to a February report. 'They have a bad picture of me,” McClanahan told the outlet about the photo of him in front of the cross, asserting that he was 'not a Nazi.' He confirmed a separate photo of him pictured with KKK members, according to the Post-Dispatch.
