The Friday cover of the New York Daily News featured a hooded Ku Klux Klan member in support of Donald Trump after the former grand wizard said not voting for Trump was “treason.”

Prominent white nationalist and former Louisiana State Rep. David Duke said Thursday that Trump is leading the “most insurgent campaign in recent American history.”

“Voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage,” Duke said.

The tabloid’s cover reads, “TRUMP FOR PREZ,” with a subhead “Ex-KKK leader: Vote for Donald, he’s just like us!”

The tabloid has previously depicted Trump carrying the head of the Statue of Liberty, as being a “dead clown walking” and leading a hoard of brain-dead zombies.

Here’s the cover:

    Ha. May play well in NYC, but Trump supporters will dimiss it as “liberal politics.”

  3. Well i am sure KKK members don’t care that a former KKK leader likes him.

  4. This make no sense. The KKK has been voting Republican LOOONG before Trump became a politician.

  5. The “poorly educated” are Trump’s base and are in the majority of the entire Republican Party’s base! The word “rube” also needs to be added on to those 2 words, making the description of the Regressive Republican Party’s base to be “poorly educated rubes!” If there is a better description of Trump and the entire regressive republican base, I’d like to read it!

    rube
    Idiot, mark, stupid, person who is easily fooled, target of con or scam
    So who is the rube for our new scam?
