Are the US democrats going to rebuke the democrats now that David Duke has endorsed the democrats?

Gabbard renounced his endorsement on her positions on Israel. Republicans embraced his support openly in the past. Big difference.

@Razorback Byrd was a local leader in the KKK in West Virginia as a young man. How you figure him to be Clinton's mentor is strange though and isn't aligned with facts. And how this relates to Gabbard's policy criticism is unclear. Another conspiracy theory?

@windinhishair Only made to to Exalted Cyclops. And then repudiated his past, never stopped apologizing, and went on to have a long career in politics, supporting minority issues to such an extent than NCAA wrote him a glowing eulogy. Omg what a bigot 😂

And seriously, what does that have to do with Duke and Gabbard?
Nah, and my guess is they'll be a little quicker and less evasive about denouncing his support.

Honestly, though, knowing Duke, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if someone paid him, though. He's still trying to be relevant, but Trump stole all his best lines and really his politics, making him seem pretty tame compared to the younger folks. He's not the man he once was.
@hippyjoe1955 nope. According to the link below, he ran on the Democratic ticket in Baton Rouge and was a registered democrat from 75 though 88, which actually makes sense if you think about the times and the demographics.

I ran into him in the early 70s because his mother lived next door to a friend and again in about 89 when I moved back and actually played raquetball him with a couple of times when he snuck into the state legislature as a Republican.

My impression of him, aside from the fact that his mother looked terrified when he came home to visit and that he had some very pretty but screwed up daughters, was that he was a more of an oportunist and a con man than a real ideolog, but admittedly, I didnt know him all that well.

I certainly didn't engage with him on issues, nor did I ever volunteer my last name. I participated as an assistant at a local synagogue during a debate, and welcomed him, but I think they picked me for him instead of the (crooked) democrat because I had blonde hair.

@MistyCee From my memory he ran for the populist party. Strange how you seem to have your details mixed up. The KKK didn't like the Republicans because they freed the slaves. They were all democrats.
@hippyjoe1955 I'm sure it was worse than that. I might have been brainwashed by the evil left when my parents didn't make me wear a tinfoil hat.

Nah they'll say some lame excuse and side step it as usual. Media has their back.

Lol. I think they'll pretend he doesn't exist.

@SW-User really why give the man any attention at all, maybe he will go away

He is a Trump supported since they are both white supremacists.

I haven't been following along since they're losing their power. Nothing new for now

Does that mean he's a reformed racist now, or is he just trolling?

@tddyd9 Probably means he wants to bang her. This wasn’t even the first time.

Uh huh, sure they will.
