David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, endorsed President Donald Trump yesterday on Twitter and even tweeted a suggestion about a new running mate for the U.S. president: Tucker Carlson. Why is David Duke still allowed to be on Twitter while other white supremacists are getting booted in droves? That’s a great question. And Twitter hasn’t provided an answer.

According to Duke, President Trump should demote vice president Mike Pence and pick the notoriously racist Fox News host Tucker Carlson for veep. Duke would also like to see Trump make Pence the new Secretary of State, nudging out the current man in that role, Mike Pompeo.

“President Trump! You have one last chance to turn the tables, win this election and save America—and yourself!” Duke tweeted on Thursday. “Nominate Tucker Carlson for Vice President. This would energize your campaign beyond belief. You can replace Zio NeoCon warmonger Pompeo with Pence as Sec. of State!”

Several high-profile racists have been permanently kicked off Twitter lately, including Stefan Molyneux, a sad and angry man who was recently banned from Twitter and YouTube. And while Duke was recently banned from YouTube, he’s still allowed to spread his message of hate on Twitter. The San Francisco-based social media company did not respond to a question about Duke’s Twitter account on Friday morning.


....................
When Duke endorsed Trump back in 2016, the then-candidate blamed a “bad earpierce” from CNN when he initially didn’t disavow the former KKK Grand Wizard’s endorsement. Trump insisted later than he had already disavowed Duke’s endorsement at an earlier press conference, but wouldn’t repeat his disavowal when asked about the issue on the Today show.

I don’t know why David Duke wants to get rid of Pence, because as we know he’s always on his hands and knees around Trump at least metaphorically.
