America's Biggest Racist Considers Another Presidential Bid

Via BET: If there is such a thing as America’s most famous white supremacist, the title belongs to none other than David Duke. Notorious for decades now, Duke retired from being the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan to enter politics, an arena where he’s done relatively well for himself. Though he ran for president and lost in both 1988 and 1992, Duke actually served in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1990 to 1992. Now that he’s been out of the spotlight for the past several years, he may be throwing his hat into the ring again. Get ready for this, America.

New reports say Duke is going to venture on a 25-city exploratory tour of the United States to gauge voters’ interest in a racist relic like himself. If he likes what he sees, he’s planning on running. There’s no chance he’ll win, but in the past it’s been frightening to see how well he did. For instance, when he ran for governor of Louisiana in the 1991, Duke waltzed away with almost 40 percent of the vote—that’s almost 40 percent of people giving their support to a man who once ran the Klan.

You can read more about this over at BET but in the meantime, do you think Duke would actually win?
