Making Duke into a Republican, put the GOP on its heels and they spent most of their time having to defend themselves...sorta like the world accusing the Israelis of the Holocaust.

Jan 30, 2015: Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke says he might go up against Republican Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana in 2016 because he distanced himself from a 2002 event hosted by Duke’s white nationalist group.
“I mean this guy is a sellout,” Duke railed in an interview with radio host Jim Engster on Wednesday, according to BuzzFeed, which posted the audio.
“He’s not David. He used to say that he was David Duke, of course without the baggage, whatever that means,” Duke said........
“I call upon Steve Scalise to step down from his position of House of Representatives. In fact, he should resign his seat,” Duke said. “I am not registered to vote right now. I have legally been able to vote for years but I haven’t registered right now and I’d be able to vote for, but I might just register” to run against Scalise.
