A little while ago, we joked that Elizabeth Warren was gunning for the coveted David Duke presidential endorsement with her sickening defense of Ilhan Omar. But it’s looking like she might actually get it:

Isn’t that special? The heart eyes are a delightful touch.
KKK Grand Wizard David Duke dubs Ilhan Omar "the most important member of the US Congress."
What do we mean by "dog whistle"? We mean that a politician's words—whether intentionally or not—activate, energize, and affirm bigots in our country. We mean this: pic.twitter.com/TYlEhMg5IY

Some dog whistles are more equal than others.
David Duke, Paul Krugman and Ilhan Omar are quite the political dream team.*

And don’t forget about Louis Farrakhan!
Sorry, @BarackObama, but @IlhanMN is the real uniter. She has brought David Duke and Farrakhan together in support of her anti-Semitism.

An impressive feat, to be sure.
Does @IlhanMN @HouseDemocrats have a response to this? https://t.co/NBE0Kv8nLl

Do you disavow, Democrats? Do you?
Congrats to all the people on the left now on the same side of the antisemitism issue as David Duke. pic.twitter.com/jnlvuiIUo0

Meanwhile:
When Duke endorsed a Laura Ingraham monologue, it caused a minor media sensation and she swiftly denounced him — Keep an eye on who tweets/covered that but not this

Should be very interesting.

Update:
Guess we shouldn’t hold our breath for our media firefighters to rush toward this one:
Apparently the media was too busy making excuses for Omar to notice. pic.twitter.com/RKdCOYhjDT

Update:
Maybe the Real News, Mr. President, has got something to say about this:
Everytime David Duke says something about Trump the media rushes to weaponize it
When Duke calls a Democrat congresswoman "the most important member of Congress!" there is not 1 article on CNN's website
President Trump David Duke: 172 results
