David Duke Says He Might Run For Congress Against “Sell Out” Steve Scalise
Source: BuzzFeed
Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke says he might run for office against Republican Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana.
Scalise faced questions earlier this month about a 2003 appearance he made as a state representative before the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO) a white supremacist group founded by Duke.
Scalise called the appearance a mistake I regret and condemned the sort of views groups like EURO hold.
Now Duke, who initially was supportive of Scalise, calling him a nice guy to the Washington Post, says he is a sellout for apologizing for speaking to the group over a decade ago.

In Louisiana's electoral system, all candidates of all parties run in the so-called "jungle primary". If Dukkke and Scalise split the white nationalist/neo-Nazi vote, a Dem could easily place in the top two.
Of course, that still leaves a likely runoff against an incumbent.

Per Wikipedia he's no longer registered to vote in Louisiana, but I'm sure that could be fixed.
But Duke doesn't have a shot of winning only because of his baggage. The people here seem to prefer 'respectable' racists.
