Nazi Christmas ornaments, Confederate flags and a Ku Klux Klan robe were on display or for sale this past weekend at the Kentucky Expo Center during a gun show, just days after the shooting deaths of two people at a Jeffersontown Kroger ...

Cody Patterson, a spokesman for Kentucky Venues, which includes the Expo Center, said ... "Kentucky Venues finds any items representing racist ideology to be despicable" ...

U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth was quick to call out the shooting as being racially motivated and labeled it as a hate crime ...

“It’s horrifying that it’s OK to offer Nazi and Klan paraphernalia in public,” Yarmuth said. “It’s symptomatic of what we’re dealing with now. It seems to be OK to publicly condone white supremacy.”
