Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke praised Donald Trump for locking up the Republican presidential nomination and thus defeating “Jewish supremacists.”
On his radio program Wednesday, the white nationalist leader said Trump’s decisive Indiana primary victory exposed “Jewish supremacists who control our country.”
Trump came under fire earlier this year for failing to quickly reject Duke’s endorsement. Duke is an outspoken Trump supporter.
“The Trump campaign at a whole series of levels is a great opportunity for us to expose the people who really run the Republican Party, who run the Democratic Party, who run the political establishment and who are leading us all to disaster,” Duke said on his radio show. “Even though Trump is not explicitly talking about European-Americans, he is implicitly talking about the interests of European-Americans.”
“Jewish extremists” have “made a terribly crazy miscalculation” by opposing Trump, Duke added, “because all they’re really going to be doing by doing a ‘Never Trump’ movement is exposing their alien, anti-American, anti-American-majority position to all the Republicans, and they’re going to push people more into awareness that the neocons are the problem, that these Jewish supremacists who control our country are the real problem and the reason why America is not great.”
Duke also urged his followers to “make sure that Trump understands that we expect him to follow through on these things and we expect him to be our white knight, our advocate and our person.”
