Unfortunately, we have to deal with this bit of fair and balanced news reporting
Duke’s comments sound like some of the rhetoric in this forum.

Former Head of KKK David Duke Supports Tucker Carlson After White Supremacy 'Hoax' Claims

A former leader of the Ku Klux Klan is supporting Tucker Carlson after the Fox News host claimed that white supremacy isn't a real problem in America.
"This is just a hoax, like the Russia hoax," Carlson told his viewers tuning in to his show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, on Tuesday night. "It's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power."
The Fox News host also claimed that the "whole thing is a lie" and that "the combined membership of every white supremacist organization in this country would be able to fit inside a college football stadium."
Carlson's remarks came just days after a racially motivated mass shooting in El Paso, Texas. The attack killed 22 people and injured dozens more. The suspected gunman is believed to have authored a racist, anti-immigrant manifesto, which was posted online shortly before the shooting.
Carlson was immediately met with backlash for his claim that white supremacy is a conspiracy. Even a contributor for Fox News ripped the claim, tweeting that "you know who else believes white supremacy is not a real problem? White supremacists."
But he has found one supporter: David Duke, a former grand wizard of the KKK and a prominent white supremacist. Duke voiced his support of Carlson in a social media post shared to Twitter on Wednesday.
"Tucker is RIGHT!" Duke wrote. "White Supremacy is a ZioMedia Conspiracy Theory! The term is itself a lie. Millions of White activists are NOT 'supremacists' We seek NOT to oppress or destroy any race! Human Rights for all - EVEN FOR WHITE PEOPLE! Stop antiWhite racism!"
