Nick Cannon Throws Support Behind Donald Trump, Says Democrats Are the ‘Party of the KKK’

Nick Cannon praised Trump's actions and agreed with Amber Rose's GOP switch while inaccurately linking Democrats to the Ku Klux Klan, sparking fact-checks and an apology.

  • Television personality Nick Cannon labeled the Democratic Party "the party of the KKK" during an episode of his web talk show Big Drive on Friday.
  • The comments arose while Cannon discussed politics with guest Amber Rose, a former Democrat who switched to become a Republican supporter and endorsed President Donald Trump in 2024.
  • Rose stated "Democrats don't care about people of color and the Republicans do," and Cannon replied, "I agree with you 100%." The exchange centered on conservative political views.
  • Cannon credited the Republican Party, founded by anti-slavery activists, with passing the 13th Amendment and freeing slaves under President Abraham Lincoln's leadership.
  • Segregationist Dixiecrats, including Senator Strom Thurmond, shifted allegiances from the Democrat Party to the GOP by the 1960s, reshaping the modern political landscape.
