CAITLIN MACNEAL – APRIL 24, 2014, 1:25 PM EDT

Cliven Bundy's militia supporters came to his defense on Thursday after reports of a racist tirade last weekend in which the Nevada rancher wondered if "the Negro" was "better off" under slavery.

"There are new rumors going around about Cliven. We all know that with the media, words are taken out of context, meanings are twisted, and they can take anything and turn it into what they want it to be," a post on the official Bundy Ranch Facebook page reads. "Cliven is a good man, he loves all people, he is not a racist man. He wants what is best for everyone."

After Bundy declared victory over the Bureau of Land Management following a standoff over grazing fees, conservatives rallied around his anti-government activism.

However, following Bundy's most recent remarks, most of his prominent supporters who have spoken up have condemned his views on African-Americans and slavery.

1. Birds of a feather.

Closet racist.

2. Funny how a video with him speaking is just "rumors"

I guess they thought the liberal media photo-shopped Bundy saying words he never said.

6. "Cliven is a good man, he loves all people, he is not a racist man." "Some of his best friends are

Negroes!"

Unfortunately foe Cliven and his supporters, the video does not lie.

7. Again, it is the Mormon way

In a year or so, even you may be doubting Cliven Bundy actually said a bunch of racist shit.

8. The militia members are all racist idiots who watch Fox News

Bundy's racist comments are meaningless to these idiots. The only thing that will affect these idiots would be if Fox News stopped showing video of their "efforts."
