David Duke was in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12, 2017, for the white-supremacist rally where one person was killed and 19 injured by a car crashing into a crowd of anti-protesters. He gave a sound-bite interview:
Q What does today represent to you?
A This represents a turning point for people in this country. We are determined to take our country back. We're going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That's what we believe in; that's why we voted for Donald Trump. Because he said he's going to take our country back, and that's what we've got to do.
When Trump tweeted:
We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!
Duke responded:
I would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists.
After the election, Duke tweeted that it was “one of the most exciting nights of my life. Make no mistake about it, our people have played a HUGE role in electing Trump.”
