David Duke (Yes That David Duke) Announces Senate Bid

Posted on
July 22, 2016
by Andrew Cullen
David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan (and noted Donald Trump supporter), announced today that he plans to run for U.S. Senate in Louisiana.

Duke is a former state representative who served one term in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1989-1992. He later ran for U.S. Senate in 1996 and the U.S. House in 1999 – both campaigns failed.

Duke, a Republican, is seeking to fill a seat vacated by David Vitter.

Duke: “The time is now. A revolution is coming.”

Duke announced his candidacy via his YouTube account, which boasts more than 70,000 subscribers.

“I believe in equal rights for all, and respect for all Americans,” Duke says. “However what makes me different, is that I also demand respect for the rights and the heritage of European Americans.”

“I was the first major candidate in modern times to promote the term and policy of ‘America first’” – a term echoed and embraced by Trump.

Other portions of his platform include a push for “free and fair trade” and campaign finance reform.

“I’m overjoyed to see Donald Trump, and most Americans, embrace most of the issues that I’ve championed for years.” Of course, some issues that go unmentioned include what Duke calls “white genocide” and “The Jewish takeover of America.”

Thankfully, those aren’t exactly “mainstream” issues.

Wait, David Duke? Really?

Duke popped back into the national spotlight briefly in February when, on his YouTube channel, he said “Voting against Donald Trump at this point, is really treason to your heritage.”

Following the story, Jake Tapper of CNN pressed Trump on the statement, asking the presidential candidate if he would disavow the endorsement from Duke. Trump replied, “I don’t know.” But after being lambasted by the media and his primary rivals, Trump disavowed the endorsement on Twitter.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee, which supports Republican Senate candidates nationwide, said they would not support Duke’s candidacy.

In a statement to NBC News, the NRSC said, “Louisiana voters will be able to choose from several Republican Senate candidates who will have a great impact on the Bayou State… David Duke is not one of them. He will not have the support of the NRSC under any circumstance.”
