David Duke: Voting against Trump is 'treason to your heritage'


The white nationalist and former KKK grand wizard encouraged his listeners to volunteer for Trump.

David Duke, a white nationalist and former Klu Klux Klan grand wizard, told his audience Wednesday that voting for anyone besides Donald Trump “is really treason to your heritage.”
“Voting for these people, voting against Donald Trump at this point, is really treason to your heritage,” Duke said on the David Duke Radio Program. BuzzFeed News first reported the comments.

"I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump. In fact, I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action. I hope he does everything we hope he will do.”
The former Louisiana representative told listeners to start volunteering for Trump.
“And I am telling you that it is your job now to get active. Get off your duff. Get off your rear end that’s getting fatter and fatter for many of you everyday on your chairs. When this show’s over, go out, call the Republican Party, but call Donald Trump’s headquarters, volunteer,” he said. “They’re screaming for volunteers. Go in there, you’re gonna meet people who are going to have the same kind of mind-set that you have.”
In December, Duke told POLITICO that Trump’s candidacy allows Americans to be more open about their racial animus.
“He’s made it OK to talk about these incredible concerns of European Americans today, because I think European Americans know they are the only group that can’t defend their own essential interests and their point of view,” Duke said. “He’s meant a lot for the human rights of European Americans.”

Why not tone it down a bit and weed out some of more absurd rhetoric --- or do you want to incite something?

[Wingnut]

Guess it was a supporter after all!

David Duke endorses Trump.

That's going to play well in the GE.

What we need to incite is some common sense.  Trump effectively endorsed by the KKK?   Are Trump supporters so in thrall they're willing to be associated with this kind of slime?

The KKK also endorsed Ronald Reagan in 1984.  Several left wing radicals endorse democrat candidates for President.  Until a candidate seeks their endorsement, socializes with its members or attends one of their functions, a candidate is not "associated" with the radical group.

You must truly be a desperate person, and lack good judgment, posting this crap.

I suppose by your standards,  since I like Mexican food, I support crime by illegal immigrants.

Well, one of the arguments is he is bringing more people into the fold.

I hate to speculate, but ... is Duke on Mitt's payroll?

Old democrat. Probably on hillary's payroll to get her the easiest opponent and one who doesn't have an ethnic last name.

MBB1984, thank you for at least trying to inject some rationality into this thread.

Please provide documentation that Trump has been endorsed by any of those groups.

Thank you.

I fear you are right. I am utterly amazed at what the Trump candidacy is doing to otherwise reasonable people on here.

Very good point. I certainly doubt Trump wants anything to do with Duke.

How Clintonian.

'Lest you actually see Bill's penis in Monica, it did not happen, all other evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

“I watched the debate last night and LOVED IT. It felt surreal to hear Donald Trump, the leading Republican contender for President, saying what we at CODEPINK have been shouting to the winds for 14 years now: that Bush and his cronies lied about WMDs, that the Iraq war was catastrophic, and that Bush never ‘kept us safe’ because 9/11 happened on his watch.” - Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin

“Donald Trump seems to have realized that banning all abortions, shutting down the government, and defunding Planned Parenthood are extreme positions that are way too far outside the mainstream for even him to take, the rest of the GOP field [to] wake up and reconsider their extreme and unpopular positions” - Eric Ferrero, Planned Parenthood spokesman.

Two people approving of something Trump said in accord with their beliefs is not an endorsement from the organizations.

Try again.

[mountaineer]

To be fair, a few words of praise from a member or even a spokesman of an organization are not the same as an endorsement. That's an official act that probably has to be approved by the board. I didn't see in the article that Duke actually represents any organization, anyway, so this is just one individual expressing his approval of a candidate.

Racial hate and economic nationalism.  Looks like National Socialism really is a conservative ideal.  As long as one accepts Trump as conservative, that is.
