Former KKK leader David Duke praised Donald Trump’s rise to become the Republican nominee Wednesday, saying he had overcome “Jewish supremacists who control” the US.
The notorious white supremacist previously endorsed Trump, who failed to reject Duke’s approval in February.
On his radio show, Duke launched into an anti-Semitic tirade, saying opposition to Trump showed that Jews are “the real” problem” and the “reason why America is not great.”
Duke blamed Republican Jews for attempts to stop Trump, but according to US Jewish publication The Forward, Jewish Republicans had in fact been noting their support for Trump, citing examples.
