FORMER KKK LEADER DAVID DUKE ISSUES WARNING

dukeDavid Duke
Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, has come out of the woods issuing a "red alert" to all politicians that they better think twice before throwing the number 3 top Republican, Steve Scalise under the bus.
Since a Louisiana blogger made all aware that Scalise indeed spoke at a David Duke campaign event in 2002, the recent news has rocked the GOP at its core coming fresh off the heels of Republican Congressman Michael Grimms' latest 20-count indictment by federal authorities for fraud, federal tax evasion, and perjury.
Although Scalise denies having any involvement with the hate group as he pleads his case that he never knew what kind of function he attended 12 years ago, it makes one wonder why White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest repeatedly commented Scalise once described himself as "David Duke without the baggage." A reporter for the New Orleans Advocate newspaper said Scalise made the remark to her as he was starting out in the Louisiana Legislature nearly 20 years ago. Scalise's office did not immediately respond to calls for comment.
It would seem that this Scalise/Duke fiasco might not go away as easily as some may think, now that this information has been made public it will only embolden more people to look into their relationship as well as other politicians ties to the two, especially those that immediately defended Scalise without having any real evidence to support their claims of him not being a racist or apart of the hate organization.
Furthermore, the latest revelations about Scalise isn't surprising in the least...actually it's as American as apple pie, but it has always made me leery about how protected our current president is while he resides in The White House, and especially as he engages with the many politicians on a daily basis. But being fearful of the known and unknown never generates progress, it's actually pushing through fear that ultimately creates change.
Not sure if it's bad to say, but I actually hope David Duke does release names of the affiliated politicians. I mean, the fact that he has Scalise's back so fiercely only makes it that much more obvious the two have a connection; only time will tell.
