Former KKK Leader David Duke Says Tucker Carlson Should Be Trump's VP

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Newsweek

David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), is calling for President Donald Trump to nominate the talk-show host Tucker Carlson as his vice president. The former KKK Grand Wizard urged Trump to pick the Fox News host as his next in command instead of Mike Pence in order to "save America."

Duke also suggested Pence replace "Zio NeoCon warmonger" Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State. The white supremacist added that having Trump and Carlson in the White House is the only way to "stop the commie Bolsheviks."

"President Trump! You have one last chance to turn the tables, win this election and save America—and yourself ! Nominate Tucker Carlson for Vice President. This would energize your campaign beyond belief," Duke tweeted.

"Tucker Carlson now! We DON'T HAVE 4 YEARS. In 4 years there will be no dissident websites, platforms or email addresses, no dissidents allowed credit cards or bank accounts. No Freedom and Tucker will be off air before Biden is even sworn in. Tucker NOW! 4 Years is TOO LATE!

It would be fun to watch these two with ersatz educations, despite being spoiled children raised with money they did nothing to earn, hang out with red necks having educations at their level, sixth grade or below.

I agree that Carlson, a vile racist with a poor mind, is closer to Trump than Pence, who still pays lip service to "love thy neighbor so much you give him Covid" but none of them are qualified to hold an office involving integrity, intelligence, education or honesty. They are all specimens well to the left on the Bell Curve, approaching zero, like all Klansmen.

1) Gets him off the air for about 6 months
2) He's on a losing ticket.

We already know that T(F)ucker Carlson is an extreme racist,
but this will allow everyone to see his racism.

Why is he still on the air?

Duke apparently doesn't know he's the most hated individual in the solar system. Something tells me Trump changing from the odious but ultimately harmless (because no one will let him get away with the shit he wants to do) Mike Pence to the Klan-Endorsed Tucker Carlson would be enough to snag Mr. Biden 535 electoral votes.

David Duke has not done Tucker any favors. Nothing like being endorsed by the KKK to further your career. Maybe THIS will finally get that fool off television.

perhaps it will make Faux News realize just who they have an as news anchor, that perhaps maybe they should get rid of TC, and replace w/ someone else who's not perceived as a racist by the KKK, a simple enough job requirement, I would think for Faux News to follow but I don't think they will be able to, being that I wonder about Faux News competence, being that they've descended into the National Enquirer scale of reporting the 'news'.
