Gary Hector: Trump more like Duke than he wants us to know
I have to admit when I heard about David Duke endorsing Donald Trump I was not surprised. Trump has, on national TV, showed his bigotry toward Mexicans and Muslims, threatening to deport Mexican family members and stopping all Muslims from coming to our country to try to better themselves and save there family’s from the horrible attacks in the middle east.
The U.S. has always excepted people from all over the world trying to make a better life for themselves, it is a shame to prevent them even knowing a few want to do us harm. After all the only real full-blooded Americans are Native Americans.
David Duke is a white supremacist organizer, neo-Nazi and a longtime Ku Klux Klan leader. There is no reason any potential presidential nominee should accept the endorsement of a person like Duke, unless they have the same beliefs.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump has disavowed David Duke’s endorsement.
