Well, the mainstream media is going to have a field day with this one.
Former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke has endorsed Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) and her 2020 presidential bid.
Duke tweeted an article about President Donald Trump keeping troops in Iraq and added: “Tulsi Gabbard for President. Finally a candidate who will actually put America First rather than Israel First!”

Gabbard denounced the endorsement, telling The Hill:
“I have strongly denounced David Duke’s hateful views and his so-called ‘support’ multiple times in the past, and reject his support. Publicizing Duke’s so-called ‘endorsement’ is meant to distract from my message: that I will end regime-change wars, work to end the new cold war and take us away from the precipice of a nuclear war, which is a greater danger now than ever before.”
But Gabbard is correct. These KKK weirdos have very little support or influence in any area of life, yet the mainstream press give them way more attention than they deserve. The KKK isn’t even the largest hate group in the United States today (SEE: Chart: Black Separatist is most active hate group in U.S., KKK is second).
Either way, this is bad news for Gabbard because her neoconservative, neoliberal detractors are trying to find anything to have her lose support or make her concede defeat. Some are hinting that she is a white supremacist (SEE: Leftists hint Tulsi Gabbard is an Islamophobic, white nationalist), while NBC News is embarrassing herself trying to connect her to the Kremlin (SEE: NEOCON/NEOLIB: Tulsi Gabbard slams warmongers after putrid NBC News report).
Libertarians need to start sending her Mises literature because she seems an intellectually honest person.
Remember, #CommitteetoFlipTulsiGabbard!
David Duke never endorsed tulsi Gabbard. He supports a lot of her policies in trying to avoid wars. But he never gave a official
Endorsement for her. If you go to his website he actually explains it. He likes Gabbard cause he believes she’s putting America first over Israel. Which every pro American politician should be doing. Rand Paul is another kind of pro American politician. As an independent, I always vote for the more conservative republican, but Gabbard might be the exception this time around.
