People recognize members of their own tribe:
Former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke told his followers Wednesday that voting against Donald Trump in the Republican primary would be an act of “treason,” and said none of the establishment candidates should be supported.
“Voting for these people [Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio], voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage,” Duke said on his radio program, comments that were spotted by BuzzFeed. “I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump, in fact I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action. I hope he does everything we hope he will do.”
Duke then pressured his followers to “get off your rear end that’s getting fatter and fatter” and go volunteer for Trump’s presidential campaign.
The Trump campaign is filled with people who have “the same kind of mindset that you have,” Duke assured his audience.
“They’re screaming for volunteers,” he said. “Go in there, you’re gonna meet people who are going to have the same kind of mindset that you have.”
When he’s right, he’s right …
