White supremacist David Duke blames the current controversy over Donald Trump’s now defunct unaccredited university on “Jewish manipulation of the American media.”
Duke says Tuesday on his radio show that media coverage of the Trump University case is “very illustrative of the Jewish tribal nature.”
“They’re like a pack of wild dogs when they go after someone who they see as a threat to the Jewish agenda, as the neocons see Trump as a threat as a non-interventionist.”
According to Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, an “overwhelmingly Jewish” firm is behind a fraud lawsuit against Trump University. Trump has been slammed for saying he does not believe the judge in the case, an Indiana native of Mexican descent, can be impartial due to Trump’s stated views about building a wall on the US-Mexico border.
He also says “the powerful Jewish establishment that dominates international banking and finance, that dominates media, and dominates our political system” is “absolutely zeroing in now on Donald Trump.”
“The viciousness of these Jews is unbelievable. I think this whole Trump University case really exploited, can really expose the entire Jewish manipulation of the American media, the American political process,” Duke says.
Duke singles out CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, who is Jewish, for leading the attack on Trump, as well as the network’s host Jake Tapper, also Jewish, and points out the network is run by Jeff Zucker, who he calls “another Jewish extremist.”
