    If you think this reflects badly on stein ask yourself 2 questions, did he endorse her because she’s also a white supremacist? Did she accept the endorsement?

    The answer to the first is probably no since stein is a Jewish women so I don’t think she’d get along well with all the other white supremacists who think she’s sub-human. The reason he endorsed her was because she’s the only one who would end the war in Gaza and fight the “Jewish lobby”. If your a Zionist and believe that any action against Israel is anti-Semitic then yeah stein and Duke are the same. If you live outside that delusional world then you’d recognize dukes dislike for Israel and steins, (and most of the worlds) dislike for Israel come from two completely different values systems and world views.

    The answer to the second is easier, No, her campaign rejected it and called him trash as soon as they heard about it.

    So does this actually reflect badly on stein, or is this just the ravings of an insane person who’s trying to elect a Jewish woman to take out his imagined grand Jewish conspiracy? Critique stein if you want but this is nothing.

      I generally agree with you, but it does make her eat some of her own words as pointed out elsewhere in this comment section:

        Stein stans refusing to engage with this screencap while also arguing that it’s okay because Stein disavowed Duke’s endorsement:

        What exactly is the goal you think they share and how does his endorsement advance that goal?

          Seems like a fair question on such a vague statement. Like climate goals? Israel? Snack cakes?

          He left it up to readers to self insert to not have to make a statement that can be fact checked. It’s cheap conversation.

      For real. If David Duke endorsed Harris, democrats would be crowing about it and saying they’ll take all the help they can get (see all the recent neocon ghoul endorsements).
