Duke says hes endorsing Charles Barron, the leading candidate for the new 8th district primary on June 26, because of their shared enmity toward zionists.
Barron is an African-American city politician who has been slammed as an anti-white racist and as a Jew-hater. However, hes already got the endorsement of the retiring Democratic congressman, Rep. Edolphus Towns.
If Barron wins the June 26 primary, hes a shoo-in for election in November because the district is overwhelmingly Democratic.

Dukes endorsement of a Democrat also muddies routine claims by progressives that many conservatives and libertarians are motivated by racism. GOP supporters say their beliefs are motivated by American idealism and old-style liberal ideas of tolerance and freedom.
In recent days the Democratic establishment, including New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, has reacted to Barrons advance by supporting his rival, Hakeem Jeffries, a state assemblyman.
