Tulsi Gabbard rejects David Duke presidential endorsement

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) Tuesday rejected a 2020 endorsement by David Duke, a founder and former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

"I have strongly denounced David Duke's hateful views and his so-called 'support' multiple times in the past, and reject his support," Gabbard said in a statement to The Hill.

"Publicizing Duke's so-called 'endorsement' is meant to distract from my message: that I will end regime-change wars, work to end the new cold war and take us away from the precipice of a nuclear war, which is a greater danger now than ever before."

Duke, who founded a Louisiana branch of the KKK in 1974 and served as the grand wizard of the Knights of the Klu Klux Klan until 1979, on Monday appeared to endorse Gabbard, the first Hindu member of Congress.
