Former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke running for U.S. Senate
As CNN reports, former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke announced his U.S. Senate campaign on Friday in Louisiana, promising to defend the rights of European Americans. Here is the campaign website, which includes a discussion of immigration in a section named “Stop the Ethnic Cleansing of America!”.
“Thousands of special interest groups stand up for African-Americans, Mexican Americans, Jewish Americans, etc.,” he said in a YouTube video. “The fact is that European Americans need at least one man in the United States, one man in Congress, who will defend their rights and heritage.”
Duke, who previously praised Trump’s candidacy, said he’s “overjoyed” by Trump’s campaign. “The New York Times admitted that my platform became the GOP mainstream and propelled Republican control of Congress,” he said. “I’m overjoyed to see Donald Trump and most Americans embrace most of the issues that I’ve championed for years. My slogan remains ‘America First.'”
It was the day after Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination that Duke declared his candidacy as a Republican for Senate in Louisiana. In his announcement, Duke stated that Trump’s campaign has helped push Duke’s ideas into the national political discourse.
