David Duke Urges His Supporters To Volunteer And Vote For Trump

Source: BuzzFeed

David Duke, a white nationalist and former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, is urging the listeners of his radio program to volunteer and vote for Donald Trump.

“Voting for these people, voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage,” Duke said on the David Duke Radio Program Wednesday, referring to Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. “I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump, in fact I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action. I hope he does everything we hope he will do.”

Duke then urged his followers to call Trump’s campaign headquarters to volunteer.

“And I am telling you that it is your job now to get active. Get off your duff. Get off your rear end that’s getting fatter and fatter for many of you everyday on your chairs. When this show’s over, go out, call the Republican Party, but call Donald Trump’s headquarters, volunteer. They’re screaming for volunteers. Go in there, you’re gonna meet people who are going to have the same kind of mindset that you have.”

I have seen this type of statement several times here on DU.

Several years ago, here in Louisiana, I voted AGAINST this person!!

Sometimes you need to make sure some people are not elected to an office (in this case he was running for Governor).

Duke is urging his followers to vote for Trump; yet he himself isn't even registered to vote.

"As of February 25, 2016, Duke is not listed as a registered voter in Louisiana."

At least our enemies are out in the open now.

No more subliminal Willie Horton crap, now it's just full-on Nazi, white supremacist bigot motherfuckers against the rest of us!

Heritage used to mean something completely different.

I remember as a child and young adult going to different friends homes for dinner. To me food is a huge part of one's heritage.
We each bring our flavors and textures to the table. Spending holidays with different backgrounds and experiencing their traditions.
Heritage used to mean = food, beverage, dress, tradition, family love. This is how we do it where I come from.

Now when I see the word heritage I cringe. It has nothing to do with a demonstration of love and everything to do with hate.

I always thought they were Cuban with Spanish heritage, like from Spain. Does David Duke think that people from Spain aren't white? Just curious.
