The Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is a group styled after the original Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Formed around 2012, it aims to "restore America to a White, Christian nation founded on God's word".
The organization presents itself as part of a "new KKK". By rejecting the hate group label, it proclaims itself a "non-violent pro-white civil rights movement", mostly known for organizing and participating in white supremacist rallies, and spreading racist, antisemitic, anti-immigrant, homophobic and Islamophobic propaganda. Unlike the Protestant second Ku Klux Klan (1915–1944), the group unites white-supremacist Christians of different denominations. It is however somewhat stricter than other contemporary KKK chapters in accepting only "native-born white American Citizen[s …] of Christian Faith" who "believe in White Supremacy and 100% Americanism."
