A white supremacist tried to hit a hitman to lynch his black neighbor and put up a burning cross in his front yard, prosecutors allege.

Brandon Cory Lecroy allegedly offered an undercover FBI agent $500 to kill the neighbor in the small town of Hodges 85 miles west of Columbia, South Carolina.

The 32-year-old told the agent '$500 and he's a ghost' and handed over a $100 down payment along with photos of the target, according to court papers.

Lecroy wanted the man killed and his body hung from a tree, with a KKK-style burning cross erected on his front lawn.

He also mentioned he might want to have more people killed later if the hitman could get the first job done, an affidavit said.

Later he also asked if the undercover agent could get him a 9mm 'ghost gun' that would be untraceable.

Lecroy found the 'hitman' through a white supremacist group, the FBI said.

He was charged with murder for hire and solicitation to commit a crime of violence and faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

He will have a mental exam before further criminal proceedings begin.

EDITOR’S NOTE: If Lecroy bothered to vote, I suspect he marked his ballot for Trump.
