NEW LENOX, Ill., April 4 (UPI) -- If Ku Klux Klan members can’t get along, there’s not much hope for the rest of us…

A beef has arisen between two Illinois KKK groups about whether one of the organizations is actually being led by a “white” man.


Robert Jones, the Imperial Klaliff of the Loyal White Knights, doesn’t think the Traditionalist American Knights are legitimate because he believes their leader, Ancona, is Jewish.

"This guy’s group, the Traditionalist American Knights, ain’t even been around three years," Jones said of Ancona.

The Traditionalist American Knights recently distributed literature in New Lenox.

"Frank Ancona is also Jewish and his wife is Jewish and he’s being exposed all through the Klan world as a fake and he ain’t even white and you can actually look his family tree up which we’ve got his family tree which we can give y'all too and you can post it,” Jones told the New Lenox Patch.

"It says that Ancona is a nonwhite name, it's a traditional Jewish name, Italian, and his wife, the Klan is supposed to be a Christian organization and his wife actually practices the Wiccan religion, which is basically devil worshipping to me where you’re worshipping any God besides God himself. I just thought I’d let y'all know that."

Ancona denied that he was Jewish and called the Loyal White Knights and Jones a bunch of "drunks and druggies."

"If I was a Jew, I'd admit it," Ancona. “We don't want their white trash Hoosier types. Apparently their messing around with alcohol has destroyed their last few remaining brain cells."
