flag Maryland Gov. Wes Moore faces scrutiny over claims his great-grandfather fled South Carolina due to Klan threats—historical records show a peaceful move after a pastor’s death, with no evidence of racial violence.

flag Maryland Governor Wes Moore is under scrutiny over claims in a Washington Free Beacon report that challenges the accuracy of his long-told story about his great-grandfather fleeing South Carolina in the 1920s due to Ku Klux Klan threats. flag Historical records, including church archives and newspaper accounts, indicate the move was a public, orderly appointment following a pastor’s death, with no evidence of Klan involvement or racial violence. flag Moore’s office dismissed the report as partisan, affirming the broader truth of racial terror in the Jim Crow South. flag The controversy adds to ongoing questions about his past, including his military service and academic credentials, as he remains a prominent figure in Democratic politics.
