David Duke Expresses Gratitude, Support For Anti-Semitic Trump Tweet

Source: Mediaite

Ex-KKK Grand Wizard David Duke expressed his gratitude and support for Donald Trump‘s tweet that used a red Star of David to accuse Hillary Clinton of corruption.

In one of a series of tweets published over the weekend, Duke said it was “ok” that Trump had replaced the image with the Star of David with one of a red circle, saying that “we welcome the hidden hand exposing itself.”

He also thanked Trump for “slipping some ‘Red Pills’ to the American people!” (“Red pill,” a term borrowed from The Matrix, typically refers to the men’s rights movement, but can be more broadly applied to any instance of one becoming aware of the secret nature of the world.)

<...>

Duke has been one of Trump’s troublesome supporters, and the candidate invited controversy back in February when he did not immediately disavow the former KKK leader’s endorsement. (He eventually did.) Duke subsequently took credit for a boost in Trump’s poll numbers.

Think we're gonna see Trump/Duke 2016?

No need. Trump already has the white racist vote. He needs a VP that will give him "cover". Midnight Writer Jul 2016 #5

Maybe Alan West?

Or perhaps Clarence Thomas? He is apparently considering retiring from the Supreme Court.

...though even his antisemitic dog whistles are still so obvious that neo-Nazis feel obliged to acknowledge the anti-jewish shout out.
