Former KKK Leader David Duke Loved Trump's RNC Speech
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Donald Trump's acceptance speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention Thursday night was as insane as you might have imagined. It sparked a lot of reaction, but it especially touched David Duke, the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
Duke took to Twitter show his support for the GOP presidential nominee, proving he is one of the most vocal Trump advocates.
Interestingly enough, Trump is making headlines for mentioning the LGBTQ community in his speech.
"I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology," Trump said, adding for emphasis: "Believe me."
As the Huffington Post notes, Duke has been a longtime backer of Trump though the businessman hasn't shown the love back to the former KKK leader.
Watch a clip of Trump responding to Duke's support below.
