David Duke: Voting For Trump Is The 'Best Thing We Can Do'

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/david-duke-donald-trump_us_56d5d6f4e4b0bf0dab33808a

David Duke on Monday reiterated his support for the presidential campaign of real estate developer Donald Trump.

The former Louisiana state representative and one-time Ku Klux Klan leader told listeners on his radio show that "it's very, very important that [Trump] wins this election, both for the Republican nomination, and it's important for him to win the presidency of the United States.”

Voting for Trump, Duke said, "is the best thing we can do” to prevent the spread of “mass immigration” and the conspiracy of "international bankers,” a term white supremacists use to refer to Jewish people. Right Wing Watch first reported on the comments.

Trump has come under fire in recent days for his reluctance to condemn Duke and the white supremacist movement during a Sunday talk show appearance. Asked whether he would disavow his support from Duke and the Ku Klux Klan, Trump played dumb, telling CNN, "You wouldn't want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about. ... I will do research on them and certainly I would disavow if I thought there was something wrong."
