The hacker activist group Anonymous just claimed that U.S. Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from Huntersville and the former speaker of the N.C. House of Representatives, is involved with the Ku Klux Klan.
Here is the full listing of political figures that Anonymous claims to be linked to the notorious hate group, which got on Anonymous' bad side last year when a chapter threatened to use "lethal force" against protesters in Ferguson, Missouri.
It's unclear how the group developed its list, which includes a number of other prominent politicians across the country, although the hacker collective claimed last month to have hacked multiple KKK Twitter accounts. Anonymous said it would be unmasking Klan members around the anniversary of the Ferguson protests.
This list includes four U.S. senators and five mayors from across the country. Tillis is the only North Carolina politician named thus far.
According to the group's data dump, Tillis is involved with the United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. We won't be linking to their site.

We expected a speedy denial. However, the INDY has reached out multiple times to the senator's office. And while Tillis' camp on Monday morning acknowledged that they knew of the allegations, they have yet to make any kind of statement.
