David Duke Endorses Donald Trump in New Louisiana Robocall
----------------------------------------------------------

In news from the campaign trail, Donald Trump is again facing criticism
over his campaign's ties to white supremacists, after a new robocall
from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke urges Louisiana voters to
vote for him for Senate and Donald Trump for president.

David Duke: "Unless massive immigration is stopped now, we'll be
outnumbered and outvoted in our own nation. It's happening. We're losing
our gun rights, our free speech. We're taxed to death. We're losing our
jobs and businesses to unfair trade. We're losing our country. Look at
the Super Bowl salute to the Black Panther cop killers. It's time to
stand up and vote for Donald Trump for president and vote for me, David
Duke, for the U.S. Senate."

Trump has faced criticism in the past for initially refusing to disavow
David Duke's endorsement, although Trump and his campaign have since
repeatedly disavowed Duke-including after Buzz Feed published audio of
the robocall on Monday.
