Former President Donald Trump will visit a Michigan town on Tuesday one month after white supremacists rallied there, sparking renewed criticism from Democrats who accuse his campaign of stirring up racial tensions for political gain.
Trump is scheduled to talk about “crime and safety” at the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office in Howell, a town of some 10,000 people northwest of Detroit. A Trump campaign spokesperson rejected criticism of the site of the event, promising Trump would speak against “hate of any form.”
The event is one of a number Trump is holding this week as Democrats meet in Chicago to formally choose Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee in the Nov. 5 election.
But the Trump rally in Howell has attracted particular attention because of the town’s association with the Ku Klux Klan. The town has historical links to the KKK: In the 1970s, Grand Dragon Robert Miles had a Howell mailing address and held meetings on a nearby farm.
