The Missouri GOP posted on social media Thursday that McClanahan’s affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan “fundamentally contradicts our party’s values and platform.”

“We have begun the process of having Mr. McClanahan removed from the ballot as a Republican candidate,” the party tweeted. “We condemn any association with hate groups and are taking immediate action to rectify this situation.”

He doesn't “fundamentally contradict (The GOP's) values and platform.” He is smack-dab in the middle of the main stream of their values; they literally have no platform.
