Say What? Former KKK Leader David Duke Announces U.S. Senate Run With Praise For Donald Trump!

Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke is running for the U.S. Senate, linking his decision to Donald Trump’s bid for the presidency and the business mogul’s proposals on trade and immigration. Duke, a vocal Trump supporter, announced his candidacy for the seat in Louisiana on Friday and said he was “overjoyed” to see the businessman’s campaign “embrace most of the issues that I’ve championed for years,” including the nationalist and protectionist notion of “America First.” The former KKK grand wizard’s entry into the race could prove problematic for Trump by serving as a reminder that earlier in the year, Trump failed to immediately repudiate Duke after he endorsed Trump’s campaign.
