Brandon Dillon, the chair of the Michigan Democratic Party, has apologized for referring to Howell as “the home of the Michigan KKK” in a tweet he sent in August. In a letter to the editor he sent to the Livingston Post today, Dillon wrote:
“Regrettably, during a portion of that exchange, I referenced Howell as the “Home of the KKK.” It was later brought to my attention that reference was not accurate, and I would like to say that I regret any offense I may have given to the hardworking, welcoming, and great people who live in and around Howell.”
