The divisions within the party were so profound that fights broke out on the convention floor and across the New York metropolitan area. At one point, 20,000 members of the Ku Klux Klan, which backed leading candidate William Gibbs McAdoo, “battered to a shapeless pulp” an effigy of New York Governor Al Smith, the other front-runner, at a demonstration across the Hudson River in New Jersey, wrote historian Robert K. Murray in The 103rd Ballot: Democrats and the Disaster in Madison Square Garden.
Well I remember watching the Democratic national convention in 2019 and it was dark and dismal and downcast, I thought there's no way these people can win everybody was hamming it up with covid and this country is in trouble, while the Republican national convention was bright and happy and nationalistic, the Democrats didn't legally when and as we can see America was the loser
Just wait for next week!!! Chaos!!
Lots of voices saying so. Will there be a popcorn shortage?

Various 'fact check' sites say this is false and there was not Klan rally at the DNC convention.
They literally rewrite history as it suits them, 1984 style.
