Former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke defended Donald Trump on his radio show earlier this week from criticism of his comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, blaming "the Jews" in the media for propagating a long-running negative agenda against the presumptive Republican nominee.

The white supremacist radio host dropped the names of Fox News' Chris Wallace, along with Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer on CNN, who Duke said he had "exposed ... as a Jewish agent." Jeff Zucker, the current president of CNN Worldwide, is "another Jewish extremist," he remarked.

“And more recently, Fox News, the shabbat goy shiksa Megyn Kelly, 'cause they love to have some gentiles doing it," Duke continued, according to audio of the segment Tuesday. "They don’t want Jews always out front.”

Trump denounced Duke months ago after appearing to be reluctant to do so. The candidate has made clear that Curiel, who is hearing a civil case against Trump University, has been engaged in "absolutely partisan activities," Duke remarked.

"He has been an activist in La Raza Lawyers Association. La Raza," Duke said, repeating the first two words of the group, which is not associated with the National Council of La Raza. "And he specifically has funded and supported giving money to illegal immigrants, even scholarships and so forth."

Duke pointed out that Curiel is a member of the Hispanic National Bar Association, musing, “You couldn’t even imagine any candidate being a member of the European American National Bar Association. In fact, there isn’t one. That wouldn’t even be allowed."

The way the mainstream media have gone after Trump, Duke opined, is "very illustrative of the Jewish tribal nature."

Duke said Jews act “like a pack of wild dogs" when they go after someone they see as a threat to the Jewish agenda; neocons see Trump as a threat because he is a "non-interventionist"; and Trump's national security advisers are "almost all non-Jews."

At the end of the clip, Duke remarked, “Wow, I think this whole Trump University case, really, if we exploit it, can really expose the entire Jewish manipulation of the American media, the American political process, control of politics in America and truly how they are the dominant and dangerous power that exists in the United States.”
