David Duke On Trump’s New Campaign Shakeup:
We’re Taking Over The Republican Party
08.21.16
Though in the midst of a campaign for the Senate
seat of retiring Senator David Vitter (R-Louisiana),
former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke is
holding fast to his spot as a far-right radio pundit.
Late last week, Duke and his co-host, Don Advo,
discussed the Donald Trump campaign’s hiring of
Stephen Bannon, the former executive chairman of
Breitbart, a right-wing publication, as campaign
CEO. Advo remarked that “We appear to have taken
over the Republican Party,” where “we” refers to
the white supremacist movements active on the
American right.

David Duke Says He and Donald Trump Have the Same Message
September 30, 2016
Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke is running
for Senate in Louisiana, and he says Donald Trump’s
popularity is helping him in the race.
“I love it,” Duke told the LA Times. “The fact
that Donald Trump’s doing so well, it proves that
I’m winning. I am winning.”
Duke also told the LA Times that Trump’s proposed
policies, like building a wall along the border
with Mexico and banning Muslims from entering the
country, show the country is open to a white power
message. “He’s talking about it in a visceral way,”
Duke said. “Donald Trump is talking implicitly.
I’m talking explicitly.”

Trump "may be the last hope for a president who would be good for white
people," remarked Jared Taylor, who runs a white nationalist website
called American Renaissance and once founded a think tank dedicated to
"scientifically" proving white superiority. Taylor told us that Trump was
the first presidential candidate from a major party ever to earn his
support because Trump "is talking about policies that would slow the
dispossession of whites. That is something that is very important to me
and to all racially conscious white people."
Trump fever quickly spread: Other extremists new to presidential politics
openly endorsed Trump, including Don Black, a former grand dragon of the
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and founder of the neo-Nazi site Stormfront;
Rocky Suhayda, chair of the American Nazi Party; and Rachel Pendergraft, a
national organizer for the Knights Party, the successor to David Duke's
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Richard Spencer, an emerging leader among a
new generation of white nationalists known as the "alt right," declared
that Trump "loves white people."

President-elect Donald Trump is drawing praise from the Ku Klux Klan,
neo-Nazis and other white nationalist groups for appointing former
Breitbart executive Stephen Bannon as his chief strategist.
“Perhaps The Donald is for real,” Rocky Suhayda, chairman of the American
Nazi Party, told CNN in an segment that included interviews with several
white nationalists.
Trump’s hiring of Bannon has drawn bitter criticism from Democrats, but
white nationalists believe it’s evidence the president-elect intends to
live up to his campaign promises to deport illegal immigrants and build a
wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
David Duke, a former KKK leader who lost his Senate bid last week in
Louisiana, called Bannon’s hiring an “excellent” decision.

The Ku Klux Klan has announced it plans to hold a rally in North Carolina
in response to Donald Trump's election as president.
