Branson is home to many Religious Right groups
ETA---Silver Dollar City, gigantic theme park, is located at Branson. It's become a favorite vacation spot for Evangelicals, conservative Christians. It's viewed as a place of clean, family-centered, child-safe fun for the whole family!
IMHO it's no accident JimBakker's complex is right nearby.

I saw the story at about the same time that you did. I also wanted to avoid Raw Story.

She's earned herself a nice serving of consequences.

Viral video from BLM protest in Branson shows woman honoring KKK
A video of a woman who was sitting on the parking lot of Dixie Outfitters Sunday night during a Black Lives Matter protest has gone viral. As of Monday afternoon, the video has more than 100,000 views and was shared more than 3,500 times. On Twitter, the video has been viewed more than 2.4 million times.
In the video, a woman sitting on the tailgate of a truck with a Confederate flag attached and wearing a camouflage Make America Great Again cap gets into a heated confrontation with a Black LIves Matter demonstrator.
The woman, who told the News-Leader her name is Kathy Bennett of Branson, stood up and shouted to the demonstrators, "I will teach my grandkids to hate you all."
Then she said "suck on this" and shrouded herself with a Confederate flag. Bennett then turned around, made a fist and said, "KKK belief."

Dixie Outfitter owner's response on KKK ties
In 2015, Anna Robb told the News-Leader that she had attended KKK events in the past, but that was "years ago." Her husband Nathan, co-owner of the store, once tried to adopt a highway in Arkansas on behalf of the Ku Klux Klan, and that Nathan Robbs father is Thomas Robb, the national director of the KKK.
Anna Robb denied that she or her husband were ever a part of the KKK, but did say she had attended KKK events in the past.
I have years ago, she said in 2015. That was years ago, and that is not even something that comes up anymore.
She also spoke about what she felt was the wrong impression many people have about the Confederate flag.
It has nothing to do with slavery, which the media always want to bring in, she had said.
