About his history with neoconfederate groups in his state. Mr. Mcdaniel has been keynoting events hosted by this group, which is a local chapter of the sons of confederate veterans. One of the events that Chris Mcdaniel did for them featured all of the attendees dressing up in confederate uniforms. And these are not just guys who celebrate the history of the confederacy.

He is not denying that this is who he is, he is not denying that these are the groups that he associates with, with and that he speaks a
