This is false[0]. After that, we appear to be getting into Godwin's law territory, so I'm gonna leave it alone.

Just because they take credit for what they did in the past doesn't mean it will happen again. When did the ACLU last take the KKK's defence ?

The ACLU actively advertised in the Kavanaugh nomination.

Then an ACLU trans lawyer stated: “Stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on.”

Then in 2018 they covertly backed Stacey Abrams (democrat).

Then an ACLU editor wishes death on a republican senator.

and so on... The ACLU has very much been gangrened by the marxist.
