In July 2010, Lord attacked African American Shirley Sherrod in an article in the American Spectator . Sherrod had testified that one of her ancestors had been lynched.

In May 2012, Lord compared President Barack Obama to the Chinese dictator Mao Zedong in The American Spectator . Lord gave as an argument that both Obama and Mao had used the slogan "Forward".

Lord claimed in 2016 that the KKK was left-wing and that those who urged Trump to distance itself from the KKK would divide the nation.
