Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke has endorsed Green Party nominee Jill Stein over former president Donald Trump, though Stein’s campaign rebuked the endorsement.
“I endorse for president of the United States Green Party candidate, Dr. Jill Stein,” Duke said on his radio show on Monday.
“Although Dr. Stein and I obviously have our differences on important issues, she’s the only candidate who speaks clearly against the war in the Middle East.”
Stein’s campaign manager Jason Call told NBC News that Duke is “trash.”
“We had no idea about this and are very, very not interested in David Duke’s endorsement,” Call said.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated shortly.
