Former KKK Leader David Duke Says 'Of Course' Trump Voters Are His Voters

Premium Link Upgrade

Editor's note: NPR spoke with former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, because Duke represents the way in which white supremacists attach themselves to Trump's campaign.

Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke is running for U.S. Senate and tells NPR that he believes he'll be getting the votes of Donald Trump supporters.

And he reiterated his own support for Trump
, saying he's "100 percent behind" the Republican presidential candidate's agenda.

"As a United States senator, nobody will be more supportive of his legislative agenda, his Supreme Court agenda, than I will," Duke said.

Trump, while he once said he didn't know enough about Duke to comment on him, has several times disavowed endorsements by Duke. But that hasn't stopped some white supremacists from publicly supporting Trump's campaign.

Duke says that Trump's attacks on Muslims and ******* immigration have brought his own beliefs into the mainstream.

The former Klansman, who describes himself as advocating for European-Americans, filed to run for an open Senate seat in Louisiana just one day after the Republican National Convention.

In an interview with Morning Edition, Duke criticized the Republicans who have recently declared that they don't support Trump.

"I think that those Republicans, or those so-called conservatives, they are betraying the principles of the Republican Party and certainly conservatism," Duke said.
"Donald Trump is not a racist. And the truth is in this country if you simply defend the heritage of European American people then you're automatically a racist."

David Duke: 'I represent the ideas of preserving this country'

In his interview with NPR's Steve Inskeep, Duke claimed there is "massive racist, racial discrimination against European-Americans" and a "very vicious anti-white narrative" in the media. Hollywood, he said, is not controlled by European-Americans.

Inskeep broke in to ask whether Duke was referring to Jews.

Duke responded with, "Well they're from the Middle East, that's not European. That's not European, is it? That's Middle Eastern. And they have a particular orientation for their positions and their programs."

Inskeep said the candidate "went on for a while, unspooling old racist theories that he said were not racist. He said Europeans built America, though his own state was built in large part by the descendants of Africans. He wrote Jews out Europe's history."

"Some critics see echoes of discredited tales like these in some gestures by Donald Trump," Inskeep said. "On Twitter, Trump posted an image of Hillary Clinton, piles of cash, and an apparent Star of David. He later said it was just a star."

When asked whether he thinks Trump supports him, Duke said he doesn't know what Trump thinks of him.

"Donald Trump has to run his own campaign, I have to run my own campaign," he said.

"I don't know if he's with me or not but I would hope that he and others would realize that the same lies they make about him is what they say about me," he said. "I've always said that I'm for equal rights for all people, but I also believe that European-Americans shouldn't be facing discrimination either."

He was confident that Trump backers in Louisiana would support his Senate run.


"We've already polled inside the Trump voters, and we know that we're going to carry 75 to 80 percent of those who are going to vote for Trump," he said.

Steve asked, "You think Trump voters are your voters?"

"Well, of course they are!"
Duke said. "Because I represent the ideas of preserving this country and the heritage of this country, and I think Trump represents that as well."

OK, back to you BC. :flaccid:
 
My hunch from months ago is getting more and more likely. Trump looks like he does his foolish acts on purpose. The purpose may be: Ensure the democratic win.

And now, of course, there is talk of the RNC pulling "The Nuclear Option" a.k.a. getting rid of him and, well, I predict, again, they will go with Paul Ryan.

Mark my words.

Trump is a loose canon, an extremist, he thinks he knows everything better than anyone and he would rather lose than admit that he may not be omniscient, he would rather lose than admit that he made a mistake.

We shpould be prepared to accept their fury more than usually. It will be hard for them.
 
I Ran the C.I.A. Now I’m Endorsing Hillary Clinton


Michael J. Morell was the acting director and deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2010 to 2013.

During a 33-year career at the Central Intelligence Agency, I served presidents of both parties — three Republicans and three Democrats. I was at President George W. Bush’s side when we were attacked on Sept. 11; as deputy director of the agency, I was with President Obama when we ****** Osama bin Laden in 2011.

I am neither a registered Democrat nor a registered Republican. In my 40 years of voting, I have pulled the lever for candidates of both parties. As a government official, I have always been silent about my preference for president.

No longer. On Nov. 8, I will vote for Hillary Clinton. Between now and then, I will do everything I can to ensure that she is elected as our 45th president.

Two strongly held beliefs have brought me to this decision. First, Mrs. Clinton is highly qualified to be commander in chief. I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president — keeping our nation safe. Second, Donald J. Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security.

I spent four years working with Mrs. Clinton when she was secretary of state, most often in the White House Situation Room. In these critically important meetings, I found her to be prepared, detail-oriented, thoughtful, inquisitive and willing to change her mind if presented with a compelling argument.

I also saw the secretary’s commitment to our nation’s security; her belief that America is an exceptional nation that must lead in the world for the country to remain secure and prosperous; her understanding that diplomacy can be effective only if the country is perceived as willing and able to use ***** if necessary; and, most important, her capacity to make the most difficult decision of all — whether to put young American women and men in harm’s way.

Mrs. Clinton was an early advocate of the raid that brought Bin Laden to justice, in opposition to some of her most important colleagues on the National Security Council. During the early debates about how we should respond to the Syrian civil war, she was a strong proponent of a more aggressive approach, one that might have prevented the Islamic State from gaining a foothold in Syria.

I never saw her bring politics into the Situation Room. In fact, I saw the opposite. When some wanted to delay the Bin Laden raid by one day because the White House Correspondents Dinner might be disrupted, she said, “Screw the White House Correspondents Dinner.”

In sharp contrast to Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Trump has no experience on national security. Even more important, the character traits he has exhibited during the primary season suggest he would be a poor, even dangerous, commander in chief.

These traits include his obvious need for self-aggrandizement, his overreaction to perceived slights, his tendency to make decisions based on intuition, his refusal to change his views based on new information, his routine carelessness with the facts, his ************* to listen to others and his lack of respect for the rule of law.

The dangers that flow from Mr. Trump’s character are not just risks that would emerge if he became president. It is already damaging our national security.

President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was a career intelligence officer, trained to identify vulnerabilities in an individual and to exploit them. That is exactly what he did early in the primaries. Mr. Putin played upon Mr. Trump’s vulnerabilities by complimenting him. He responded just as Mr. Putin had calculated.

Mr. Putin is a great leader, Mr. Trump says, ignoring that he has ****** and jailed journalists and political opponents, has invaded two of his neighbors and is driving his economy to ruin. Mr. Trump has also taken policy positions consistent with Russian, not American, interests — endorsing Russian espionage against the United States, supporting Russia’s annexation of Crimea and giving a green light to a possible Russian invasion of the Baltic States.

In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.

Mr. Trump has also undermined security with his call for barring Muslims from entering the country. This position, which so clearly contradicts the foundational values of our nation, plays into the hands of the jihadist narrative that our fight against terrorism is a war between religions.

In fact, many Muslim Americans play critical roles in protecting our country, including the man, whom I cannot identify, who ran the C.I.A.’s Counterterrorism Center for nearly a decade and who I believe is most responsible for keeping America safe since the Sept. 11 attacks.

My training as an intelligence officer taught me to call it as I see it. This is what I did for the C.I.A. This is what I am doing now. Our nation will be much safer with Hillary Clinton as president.

Wow a lot of mainstream media bovine excrement being posted here.
Propaganda.
If anyone wants to believe the lie that HC is anywhere near Trump in the real polls go ahead.
It's actually part of the whole election rigging process- Lying and saying she is near or ahead of Trump rather than
tell the truth which is she may be at 20% at best.
If they told the truth she would be ruined. Herd instinct makes many people go with who they perceive as a winner, not a loser.
Trump (and Sanders also) fill up sporting venues with people.
Hillary has a tough time getting a few hundred people to go hear her lies.

It's fact that at the convention after she rounded up, detained and/or put Bernie's people in fence off areas (aka cages) that they had to pay people to go in and clap on que like trained seals.
A lot of people.

Here is a good example of people who are either being paid to clap on que or are just following what the "clap now" signs say.

A few days ago she had a brain melt and shouted something that would have silenced an actual human crowd, but instead they clapped.

Can this be explained any other way?
 
I am the only person on this board that has consistently been correct about Trump.

You fuckers better hope he loses because I will spend the next month after the election posting screenshots of all of your stupid predictions.

Half of you will leave the board it will be so unbearable.

The next month ? I thought you'd go for "the next year", "the next four years" or even "the next eight years". You disapoint me.

It will take much more than a month of trolling for me to leave.

I thought you conservatives were good at trolling liberals when you have an opportunity to do so. Seems like you're just small players...
 
Shitlibs going apeshit because of August poll numbers.

I am not guaranteeing anything but there are still debates and I am willing to bet that the next wikileaks dump will be in October and they will show Pantsuit using her position of Secretary Of State as a "pay to play" operation.

You know you want to go on record guaranteeing a Trump victory. Just do it

Seeing as I've only been reviewing this thread for the past few days, what predictions have you made about Trump that have been correct?
