2020 Candidate Tulsi Gabbard REJECTS Endorsement From KKK Leader David Duke


Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has rejected an endorsement from former KKK leader David Duke.

The 68-year-old white supremacist and former GOP Louisiana state senator plastered a banner on his Twitter page prominently featuring a photograph of the Hawaiian lawmaker.

“Tulsi Gabbard is currently the only Presidential candidate who doesn’t want to send White children off to die for Israel,” the former Grand Wizard tweeted his more than 50,000 followers along with a photograph of Gabbard meeting a US service member and his child.

But Gabbard wasted no time in lashing back at Duke and rejected his backing. “I have strongly denounced David Duke’s hateful views and his so-called ‘support’ multiple times in the past, and reject his support,” she said in a statement Tuesday.

“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.”

Gabbard — who is of Samoan heritage — served with the US Army National Guard in Iraq from 2004 to 2005 and was first elected to office in Hawaii in 2013.

The 37-year-old, who announced her White House bid last week, received Duke’s unwelcome endorsement despite several moves signaling her potential support for the Jewish state.

  1. Tulsi can teach POTUS a thing or two about how to respond to racist supporters. Contrast her rejection of Duke to Trump’s bumbiling response to Dukes endorsement and Trump’s very fine people marching with Neo Nazis and Trump’s non comment on Steve King.

  2. Moshe In Golus: My point is that Trump is so egotistical and so ammoral that he will tolerate any and all obnoxious, racist and immoral behavior as long as it is complimentary of him. He will tolerate racists who support him. He will not condemn them. Contrast his response to Duke’s endorsment and Gabbards response and my point is quite obvious.

    The problem is even greater because when Putin and Kim are complimentary of him. He falls “in love” with them despite their horrific record.

    Perhaps you have another explanation for Trumps response, or lack of it, to David Duke, Charlottesville and Steve King. I would love to hear it.
