Former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke Endorses Trump for President

http://www.theroot.com/articles/news/2015/08/former_kkk_grand_wizard_david_duke_endorses_trump_for_president.html

The Donald has been in a bit of news involving white supremacists of late.

Of course, it is not Donald Trump’s fault that one such supremacist wanted to rename a North Dakota town after him. It is also fairly safe to assume that Trump didn’t 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 he’s come out on the immigration issue. I’m beginning to get the idea that he’s a good salesman. That he’s 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.
