David Duke is the former head of the KKK, or Ku Klux Klan, which is a white supremacist group. He has been in the news recently for endorsing Green Party nominee Jill Stein over Donald Trump for her anti-Israel views.
Duke, who had earlier supported Donald Trump, stated that only Stein opposed the genocidal actions of the Jewish State against the Palestinians in Gaza.

He also mentioned that Stein’s views were aligned with his perspectives on the Middle East. However, Stein’s campaign team has rejected Duke’s endorsement, stating that they had nothing to do with him.
David Duke is a former leader of the KKK and is a self-proclaimed white nationalist, as well as a former member of the American Nazi Party, who had supported Donald Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections. However, on his radio program, he criticized Donald Trump for his subservience to Israel and the Jewish lobby.
David Duke stated,
“I endorse the Green Party candidate for President of the United States, Dr. Jill Stein. I gave careful thought to what’s good for white people, Europeans, before making this choice.”
Duke stated that his support for Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein is one of his most notable statements. He also labeled Trump as a puppet of a global Jewish conspiracy and continuously backed the Jewish nation.
Notably, Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein is aligned with far-left ideology and is also Jewish.
Dr. Jill Stein’s campaign quickly disassociated itself from Duke’s support. Campaign manager Jason Call stated,
“We are very, very not interested in David Duke’s endorsement.”
He also rebuked Duke, calling him “trash,” and emphasized that the campaign did not have anything to do with him.
When Duke endorsed Trump’s candidacy, Trump did not reject Duke’s endorsement right away and was criticized for his hesitation.
