\"duke_ap\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Former Ku Klux Klan grand\u00a0wizard David Duke has declared his support for Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

I should just let that statement stand on its own.<\/p>\n

But I cannot.<\/p>\n

This’ll be brief.<\/p>\n

Duke’s past is as reprehensible as it gets. He’s now thrown in with Trump, the current Republican Party presidential front runner.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo although we can\u2019t trust him to do what he says, the other Republican candidates won\u2019t even say what he says. So he\u2019s certainly the best of the lot. And he\u2019s certainly somebody that we should get behind in terms, you know, raising the image of this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

I’m not for a nanosecond going to suggest that Trump share’s Duke’s KKK dogma. I am going to suggest that Duke — no matter what he says about himself or the organization to which he belonged — cannot shed his past.<\/p>\n

Duke’s\u00a0obituary is going to include a KKK reference. And we all know about the murder, misery and mayhem that it has committed against other Americans.<\/p>\n

There. Now I’m done.<\/p>\n
