David Duke Endorses Trump: 'He Understands the Real Sentiment of America'

“I praise the fact that he’s come out on the immigration issue," Duke explained. "That he’s an entrepreneur and he has a good sense of what people want to hear what they want to buy."

“And I think he realizes that his path to popularity toward power in the Republican Party is talking about the immigration issue," the radio host continued. "And he has really said some incredibly great things recently. So whatever his motivation, I don’t give a damn. I really like the fact that he’s speaking out on this greatest immediate threat to the American people."

“I’ve said from the beginning I think his campaign is good in the sense that it’s bringing these issues to a discussion which we have to have in America. And he’s continuing to move the envelope further and I think he understands the real sentiment of America.”

Duke concluded by calling Trump's campaign a "great opportunity."

Not nukes in Iran? Not climate change, or jobs, or infrastructure or Wall Street? It's Mexicans? Holy frijole!

He has the racists on his side. And that makes him dangerous.

Publicly endorsed by the KKK. That's as stupid as the KKK asshats showing up to demonstrate for the Confederate flag being all about heritage, not hate.
