Buzzfeed reports:
Louisiana Senate candidate and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke says he's pleased that vice presidential nominee Mike Pence declined to call him "deplorable" in an interview on Monday.
"It's good to see an individual like Pence and others start to reject this absolute controlled media," Duke told BuzzFeed News. "The truth is that the Republican Party in Louisiana — I received the vast majority of Republican votes for United States senator before and for governor before that in my state. The truth is the Republican Party is big tent. I served in the Republican caucus. I was in the Republican caucus in the legislature. I had a perfect Republican voting record. It's ridiculous that they attack me because of my involvement in that nonviolent Klan four decades ago."
In an appearance on CNN on Monday, Pence was asked about Duke's support of his running mate Donald Trump. Pence replied, "We don't want his support and we don't want the support of the people who think like him." Asked if Duke is "deplorable," Pence said, "I'm not in the name-calling business."
I never tire of posting this but for those of you who don't know. Duke is also a known associate of Family Research Council hate group leader Tony Perkins who in 1996 while managing the unsuccessful U. S. Senate campaign of Woody Jenkins, Perkins "paid Duke $82,500 for his mailing list." Despite Perkins' denials the document authorizing the payment to Duke carried Perkins' signature.
