David Duke praises Trump picks

Posted by | November 18, 2016 14:02 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

He’s especially happy with Jeff Sessions, a man once deemed to racist to be a judge.

Duke wrote on Twitter, “Bannon, Flynn, Sessions — Great! Senate must demand that Sessions as AG stop the massive institutional race discrimination against whites!”

…In 1986, Sessions was nominated to the federal bench, but rejected by the Senate Judiciary Committee due to multiple allegations of racism. As attorney general, Sessions would be in charge of enforcing federal civil rights laws.

Bannon, Trump’s selection for chief strategist, was executive chairman of Breitbart News, an “alt right” outlet that promotes white nationalist views. Flynn has tweeted anti-Semitic material (he later apologized) and has promoted the work of white nationalist “alt right” writer Mike Cernovich on social media. Duke also tweeted that Flynn was a “great pick!”

    David Duke is less relevant than Pope Benedict XVI. Nobody cares what he thinks anymore.

      It seems many on the Alt Right including Steve Bannon and Jefferson Beauregard “Jeff” Sessions III like the endorsement of the former Grand Wizard of the KKK as well as other White Christian nationalist, (white supremacist/Christian identity) movement..

      David Duke is now more relevant now than he has been in decades thanks to Trumpf and his Christian White Nationalist appointments..

    Hardly surprising.
    Bigots to the left of me, conspiracy theorists to the right of me, xenophobes above and misogynists below.

    Yep, the Trump cabinet is surely shaping up to be a reflection of his own world view.

    Doesn’t he have sheets that need ironing?

    I wonder what position David Duke will be appointed in the new Trumpf regime…
