Bar Owner’s Donation to Former KKK Leader Sparks Uproar, Leads to Closing of Bar
A Minneapolis bar shuts down amid uproar over a donation to white supremacist and former KKK leader David Duke.
FOX’s Jeff Monosso reports:
It’s been a popular hot spot in Minneapolis’ north loop, but Club Jager is no longer after a local paper revealed the club’s owner Julius De Roma contributed $500 to white nationalist David Duke and his failed bid in 2016 for a U.S. Senate seat in Louisiana.
Several employees quit, some regular performers canceled gigs:

Managers closed the bar Thursday while De Roma insists that his donation was “basically free speech” and that the controversy had been blown up beyond what it should be.
