Nick Cannon Calls Democrats 'Party of the KKK,' Says He 'F***s With' Trump

Historians say his KKK claim oversimplifies party history after 20th-century realignments.

Overview

  • Cannon, speaking with Amber Rose on Friday’s Big Drive episode, said Democrats are “the party of the KKK” and voiced support for President Donald Trump.
  • He said he does not back either major party, citing W. E. B. Du Bois to argue the two-party system masks a single power structure.
  • Cannon praised Trump’s second-term agenda, joking about the president renaming the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” and a “$5 million” entry fee tied to a Gold Card residency pathway.
  • Newsrooms verified the video and added context, noting Democrats did not found the KKK and that party platforms shifted during the Civil Rights era.
  • Outlets across the spectrum highlighted different angles, with right-leaning sites cheering his remarks and others stressing fact-checks and his 2020 ViacomCBS firing over antisemitic comments.
