After failing to forcefully disavow one-time Ku Klux Klux Grand Wizard and current Louisiana senate candidate David Duke and hiring Breitbart News Network chairman Stephen K. Bannon as his third top campaign aide, Donald Trump is earning wide praise from white nationalist even as he makes a direct appeal to African-American voters.

“You’re living in poverty! Your schools are no good! You have no jobs,” the Republican presidential nominee said of African-Americans to an all-white audience in Michigan last week. “What the hell do you have to lose?” Trump said, making his appeal to Black voters more clearly later in the week, adding that he is likely to receive 95 percent support from the Democratic voter base by 2020. In the middle of his campaigning to bring African-American voters back to the “Party of Lincoln, however, Trump mainstreamed an extreme right-wing website in America made famous for destroying the career of Shirley Sherrod.

“So, something astonishing has happened,” Don Advo, from the white-supremacist friendly website Daily Stormer, said during David Duke’s radio show. “We appear to have taken over the Republican Party.”

Duke responded with a laugh.

“Well, rank and file,” he acknowledged, “but a lot of those boll weevils are still in those cotton balls.”
