Former Ku Klux Klan Leader David Duke Throws Support Behind Donald Trump

Trump is “the best of the lot,” Duke says of GOP frontrunner

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump can count on at least one die-hard fan: former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke.

Self described “racial realist,” Duke, praised Trump during a recent rant during his online radio show, calling the business mogul a “good salesman.”

Duke, who ran unsuccessfully for president as a Democrat in 1988 and later served in the Louisiana House of Representatives, also said he liked Trump because of “the fact that he’s come out on the immigration issue,” adding, “he’s an entrepreneur and he has a good sense of what people want to hear, what they want to buy.”

While Duke admitted Trump’s proposals could be a political ploy to get the nomination, he agreed with the real estate mogul’s policies aimed at mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, calling him “the best of the lot” among the crowded GOP primary field.

After complaining about the “Jewish domination” of the media, Duke said Trump is telling it like it is.

“Trump, he’s really going all out. He’s saying what no other Republicans have said, few conservatives say.”

Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

David Duke needs to return to whatever swamp he just emerged from and go back to trying to fornicate with himself.

Looks like PT Barnum has even sucked in the KKK set too.

We’ll be seeing a lot of these ‘he must be a racist’ by association hit pieces in the near future.

But with the excesses of this clown negro regime the danger of a ‘critical mass’ moment exists revealing the so called racists of our distant pass were absolutely correct on the condition of black culture and their devastating effect on civilized society.

...Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ...

If I were Trump, this is my response.

My campaign is incredible, the best ever, just look at the polls. Why, even lifelong hardened Democrats are looking at my platform

With that sort of logic, McDonald’s and Walmart better hope Duke stays out of their places or else almost all of us are KKK, aren’t we?

Bad move, Duke. There's no place for the Ku Klux Klan in the Republican Party. There never has been.

Now if you declared yourself a Democrat you would feel right at home--and you would be--and you could become Senate Majority Leader, assuming, of course, that the Democrats ever get control of the Senate again!

Trump needs to publicly tell Duke to STFU and smack him down good, and do it NOW!

They will stop at nothing to protect their power mad agenda.

We may be nearing the moment when it will be time to place a single lamp in the Old North Church again.

They have come by land.

Erick Erickson / RedState will try to do a Scalise Job on Trump over this. And he'll have plenty of help from FINOs.
