Is David Duke a Republican??

Have they disowned him?

I would like to hear Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell disavow any support for him. The white natonalists are too strong within the Republican Party. Hopefully, that is not the direction our nation is going.

Trump gives lip service but most people know what his history is and where he stands anyway.

He represents the majority of the Republican Party.

He just has the balls to say out loud what others only whisper in private.

C-SPAN truly nothing on the tube...

Any way Duke was not the craziest until the end...



Happy I don't live down there

The issue is not whether David Duke is a Republican as much as why does David Duke feel he can have a home in the Republican Party? Subtle difference, but I judge the republicans for creating a climate where David Duke can feel like a Republican, as opposed to projecting David Duke onto the Republican Party directly.
