Ex-KKK leader David Duke blames ‘Blitzer and the Jews’ for Trump’s troubles in wild rant

[oberliner]

Former KKK leader David Duke came to the defense of one of his political idols Tuesday, blaming Donald Trump’s legal problems over his scandal-plagued Trump University on a new culprit.

“Jewish agent” Wolf Blitzer and the Jewish-owned media.

Pointing out “the Jewish establishment knows all about psychology,” Duke went on to explain that they have the ability to “marshal up an army of Jews” to go after opponents like Trump by sending out experts to attack him.

Duke cast a wide net, including Chris Wallace from Fox News, CNN’s Jake Tapper as well as Blitzer from CNN, who Duke claims he has already exposed as a “Jewish agent from AIPAC.”

Duke went on to point out that CNN is run by “Jewish extremist” Jeff Zucker, helpfully noting that Zucker has said “he lives and breathes Israel.”

Awesome ska band.

3. There's Trump's friend, he speaks to the base all of the time.

5. Exactly

People in the media have a hard time wrapping their mind around the fact that a sizable percentage of Trump supporters have white nationalist sympathies to varying degrees.

4. Geeez. What's sad, that will attract some new voters to Trump.

[oberliner]

6. I think he already has the David Duke folks wrapped up

One might say that is indeed his base.

7. I wonder if this guy know Trump's kids are Jewish

Ivanka, in fact, attends an Orthodox synagogue with her husband Jared.

Eric married a Jewish woman and I believe they attend a Conservative synagogue.

And Malaria (or whatever the wife's name is) is of Jewish extraction, but not practicing.

8. DU has had many threads this year insisting that Jews are not a minority and that they face no

discrimination. And yet here's David Duke.

9. I know what you say is true, but I grew up in an era when racist/bigots used terms like

"N____s and J__s," even on political advertisements. Point is, those who think there is no discrimination/hatred are totally out-of-touch at best, and just racist/bigots at worst.

To this day, I am not comfortable using the word "Jew" because of the hatred I heard growing up in the South from real Klansmen or, more likely, Klan wannabees/sympathizers. I always say things in a roundabout way to use "Jewish" instead because of the hatred I associate with the term "Jews" from my youth. It's sad the effect that bigoted crud can have on people.

10. I'm The Same Way, Hoyt

There is something about just saying "Jews" or "the Jews" that is jarring. I always you Jewish or Jewish people when something comes up that requires discussing it. (Not that it happens all that often.)

[Hoyt]

11. Glad to know I'm not alone. You are right, it's "jarring."

[oberliner]

12. Jews face a special kind of discrimination

In fact, the bigots have a ready-made way to insult Jews without being accused of anti-semitism. I bet you know what that is.

14. Duke is but one example, as you know.

I will take this opportunity to thank you, once again, for speaking out against anti-Semitism and for recognizing Jews as an actual minority worthy of protection and our issues/bigotry against us, worthy of discussion.

[Behind the Aegis]

13. Hmmm...sounds so familiar...

"Jewish agent from AIPAC"...yup, heard that one before.

"Jew-run media", check.

"Jews responsible for someone else's fuck up", For sure seen that one.

"Jews getting others to do their dirty work."; Oh yeah, seen that one...several times. (Duke continued, “And most recently Fox News, the shabbat goy shiksa Megyn Kelly, because they love to have some gentile — they don’t always want all the Jews out front.)

Hell, I don't even need to go to that website to see it.

15. If Duke cleaned up his language a bit

He'd be right at home at Mondoweiss and Electronic Intifada (among other places).
