Right-wing sites have cast Hayley Williams' New Orleans speech as an attack on Republicans. Breitbart went further, saying she called conservatives members of the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist group. Fan video transcripts from 10 October are less clear. After swearing at MAGA, she says, 'The KKK look different, and they will not win.'
That line starts a new sentence in those transcripts, and in the clip she does not say who 'they' are. Breitbart's version runs the two parts together as one. Breitbart interpreted the line as labelling Trump supporters Klan members; another possible reading is that she meant racists now look different. Both versions are spreading before the November midterms.
