David Duke is an American Neo-Nazi, former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, conspiracy theorist, and politician. He was formerly a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1989 to 1992, and ran for President in 1989 and 1992. He also ran for the United States Senate in 1990, 1996, and 2016.
Duke is known for his rampant Anti-Semitism; he has praised Adolf Hitler on numerous occasions and is a Holocaust denier. He often accuses the Jewish community of trying to infiltrate the government, which he describes as a "Zionist-Occupied Government" and spread their beliefs across the world to attain total control.
He was arrested in 1972 for inciting a riot. In 2002, he plead guilty to felony tax fraud and using his supporters' donations for recreational gambling and was arrested in the Czech Republic in 2009 for attending a Neo-Nazi rally.
Duke is active on Stormfront and is good friends with its founder, Don Black. He also has ties to Nick Griffin and the British National Party. In recent years he has associated himself with the Alt-Right.
David Duke claims to have a PhD in history. However, he earned his doctorate from a university in Ukraine that is not sanctioned, nor recognized by the Ukrainian government, and the university itself has a reputation for spreading anti-Semetic message.
