Lexington Mayor Jim Gray, responding to an explosive but unattributed allegation by a shadowy hacker group, forcefully denied Monday morning having any affiliation with white supremacy groups.
“This allegation is false, insulting and ridiculous,” Gray said in a statement. “I have never had any relationship of any kind with the KKK. I am opposed to everything it stands for. I have no idea where this information came from, but wherever it came from, it is wrong.”
Gray’s name appears alongside four senators and four other fellow mayors in list apparently released overnight by the “hacktivist” group Anonymous, which had been promising to release the information. Previous media reports say the unnamed hackers claimed to have information on 1,000 names of KKK members.
