Always an opportunist he is.

Quote:
Former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke celebrated Donald Trump's win on Twitter on election night.

The Republican presidential nominee became the 45th president-elect shortly before 3 a.m. on Wednesday.

"This is one of the most exciting nights of my life," Duke tweeted. "Make no mistake about it, our people have played a HUGE role in electing Trump!"

Duke, a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, was also running for Senate this year. He lost his race in Louisiana.

Trump has previously denounced Duke and the KKK, but that hasn't stopped Duke from supporting him

why do you people keep doing this? duke is a moron with virtually no following. do you just need to make yourself feel better by convincing yourself that we are all racists?
Its not going to work. david duke doesn't speak for me. he doesn't represent me. in fact he represents nothing. he is a reject and about as relevant as the stained underwear you tossed in the trash bin last year.

I would have backed Trump up, if he didn't have such strong and enthusiastic support from white supremacists. I'm not 95%+ white and my last name isn't Smith, so I voted for Clinton instead

So, you voted for the party of slavery and Jim Crow?

You're really throwing out mixed messages here.

A lot of the old guard of that party has now spread to both parties. There really are no good options here.

Trump is an American Nationalist. Pretty soon to disappoint white Nationalists. May even have already started with the "good friend of Israel" Bibby remarks.

Oo (Blame Da Jews) Oo

Name 20 Democrat racist politicians that became Republicans.

The vast majority of them dropped out of politics, died or "evolved". They didn't become Republican politicians.

I can give you two.

Duke as mentioned above
Strom Thurmond.

The Dems may not care about minorities but the GOP sure as hell don't. Of course I am not mindlessly attached to one party.
