Robb's "Thomas Robb Ministries" website declares that "the Anglo Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, and kindred people are THE people of the Bible."[2] Robb took over the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan from David Duke in the 1980s. In a bid to gain mainstream acceptance, he took the title "National Director" rather then "Imperial Wizard" and chose to rename the organization as "the Knights Party."[2] He also decided to accept members via mail-in forms, rather than through initiation rites that had been common Klan practice in the past.[2] Robb defends the Klan as a harmless organization, claiming that it is "gentle, upbeat, and friendly";[4] when featured in the PBS documentary Banished, Robb compared a Klan hood to a businessman's tie, claiming that "it's just tradition."[5] Robb has maintained ties to other far-right groups; he has spoken at the Aryan Nations' annual "World Congress" of hate group leaders, appeared on Jamie Kelso's white supremacist Voice of Reason Radio Network, and contributed regularly to the white supremacist Internet forum Stormfront.[2] In 1996 Robb began to pioneer the concept that white people were being targeted for genocide, a theme that has gained popularity among white extremist. In 2009, Robb's daughter Rachel Pendergraft and his granddaughters, Charity and Shelby Pendergraft, formed a "white nationalist" band called Heritage Connection.[6] The Knights' Party appeared in a documentary by Al Jazeera on American hate groups, wherein Rogers Police Department Sergeant Kelley Cradduck alleged that American white supremacists home-school their children to obfuscate drug trafficking and child sexual abuse.[7] Robb's Party publishes The Crusader, a quarterly publication. In November 2016, just days before the presidential election, Robb wrote an front-page article under the title "Make America great Again" in The Crusader, devoted to a lengthy endorsement of Donald Trump and Trump's message. The Trump campaign responded by denouncing The Crusader article.[8] References1. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.newsweek.com/id/195085 | title=Rebranding Hate in the Age of Obama | publisher=Newsweek | date= May 4, 2009 | first= | last= | accessdate =2009-07-15}} {{White nationalism}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Robb, Thomas}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/thomas-robb Extremist Files: Thomas Robb], Southern Poverty Law Center. 3. ^{{cite news | url=https://www.greensboro.com/news/general_assignment/ku-klux-klan-files-suit-against-rhino-times/article_46c2fa2a-f33f-51a5-9603-27eb1c00e93e.html |title=Ku Klux Klan files suit against Rhino Times | publisher=News & Record (Greensboro) | date= October 18, 2006 | first= | last= | accessdate =2008-07-15}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515112306/http://www.jonronson.com/klan.html|title=New Klan|author=Jon Ronson|year=2001}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/18/AR2008021802005.html|title=PBS's 'Banished' Exposes the Tainted Past of Three White Enclaves|author= Ellen Maguire|newspaper=Washington Post}} 6. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2009/08/06/another-adorable-white-power-sister-act/ | title=Another Adorable White-Power Sister Act | publisher=Southern Poverty Law Center | date= August 6, 2009 | first= | last= | accessdate =2008-08-15}} 7. ^[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si4vbISz9D4 Inside USA - Rise of hate - 19 April 08 - Part 1 @9:00], Al Jazeera English, 21 April 2008.
