http://www.theroot.com/articles/news/2015/08/former_kkk_grand_wizard_david_duke_endorses_trump_for_president.htmlThe Donald has been in a bit of news involving white supremacists of late.
Of course, it is not Donald Trumps fault that one such supremacist wanted to rename a North Dakota town after him. It is also fairly safe to assume that Trump didnt ask notorious former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke for an endorsement either, but nevertheless he got it.
According to Buzzfeed, during his radio program last week, Duke lauded Trump as the best of the lot [of presidential candidates], praising him for his outspoken ideas about immigration.
I praise the fact that hes come out on the immigration issue. Im beginning to get the idea that hes a good salesman. That hes an entrepreneur, and he has a good sense of what people want to hear, what they want to buy, Duke said, adding that Trump understands the real sentiment of America.
Ok, now it's really official.

But no one else has such an open racial and ethnic bias.
