See my post immediately above. Tapper/CNN “pushed” the story. David Duke is on record as saying he did NOT endorse Trump. It was all a trap to try to grab airwaves and anti-Trump on a rather slow newsday.

I forgot all about David Duke - a minor nobody from 20 years ago's elections. In fact Trump denounced Duke 15 years ago when the Reform party was around saying he did not want to associate with that party. He probably also forgot about him too.
Elite Establishments have a way of creating blinders that keep them safe from reality...
Great ping work and link lists, sunkenciv. I wonder if people know how much time and energy goes into work like that.
I highly recommend your ping list!
Trump smacks David Duke, as opposed to the entire DNC sucking up to KKK Byrd even after the year 2000.
Yeah, insiders know all about David Duke, etc. We already know Trump’s no insider.
“So only pro trump articles allowed in breaking?”
After tomorrow... that’s a great idea.
Presuming Trump nails it tomorrow, wouldn’t it be nice if Free Republic STOPPED looking like a democrat website determined to destroy the Republican candidate? Just a thought, there.
Thanks AW!M. Some do, and I appreciate their kind remarks. There's a residue of dungbeetles who instead speculate on the color of my upper body wardrobe and nurse their grudges.
These racist tactics are right out of the Democrat play book.
Do you remember the Dems using the noose dragging behind the pick-up truck video and the black churches burning against GWB?
The Dems pull this racist crap every four years. Apparently Cruz & Rubio have learned by watching their example.
Reproduced below is a comment that I posted on The Hill website as part of the discussion of the original article there. It was deleted by the moderators.
In my experience, all racial/ethnic groups engage in substantial self-segregation and promotion of their own interests. If it is said not to be okay for Whites and/or Christians to engage in such self-segregation and self-promotion, while it is okay for non-Whites and/or non-Christians to self-segregate and self-promote, how is this double standard at all acceptable? The answer is simply that this is a strategy by those on the Left to displace and marginalize the White Christian majority, take what they have, and reduce them to minority status. Anyone who resists this attempt is dismissed for propaganda purposes as a White supremacist, racist, xenophobe, etc. It can therefore be seen that the ultimate goal of multiculturalism is not acceptance, tolerance, and inclusiveness; but rather it is the acquisition of power by taking power from those who have it and giving it to those who don’t. This strategy comes straight from the Marxist playbook of Saul Alinsky, Frank Marshall Davis, Richard Cloward, and Frances Fox Piven (all influences on Obama). It is therefore a rational strategy to resist this attempt by advocating, promoting, and defending the interests of White Christians. If this is all that David Duke is doing these days, then he is no different from most of Donald Trump’s other supporters.
No, he got 39 percent of the vote for governor in 1991.
No, there was about ten years before EWE’s last election and his entering prison. Republicans in LA tried to get GWB to release EWE, but GWB refused.
“After he refused to disavow them.... lol”
He had to wait until his marketing team told him how the endorsement was trending among the customer base.
Again, we see he doesn’t actually have any principles. Doesn’t take that many to disavow the KKK, but Trump failed even that modest test.
My guess is that anything on network TV has a far greater potential to be either selectively quoted if not sneakily video or sound-edited and redistributed (and thus cause far more damage to his campaign) than a Twitter post. I’ve seen enough examples of the former to know that’s what I’d do in his situation; I put NOTHING past liberal news outlets.
