David Duke Plans to Run for Congress Against the Republican Who Spoke to His Group - The Daily Beast

David Duke says he is getting ready to run for Congress. The former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and ex-candidate for Louisiana governor told The Daily Beast he is heavily leaning towards challenging Rep. Steve Scalise, the No. 3 Republican in the House who reportedly once called himself “David Duke without the baggage.” Duke said the killing of five white police officers in Dallas by a black militant pushed him to the brink of running. “I don’t take any satisfaction in the fact that I was right, but I have been right,” he said. “Unless European Americans stand up, they are going to lose everything they care about in this country.”
