David Ernest Duke is an American White nationalist, writer, right-wing politician, and a former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and former Republican Louisiana State Representative. He was a candidate in the Democratic presidential primaries in 1988 and the Republican presidential primaries in 1992. Duke has unsuccessfully run for the Louisiana State Senate, United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and Governor of Louisiana. Duke describes himself as a "racial realist", asserting that "all people have a basic human right to preserve their own heritage." He opposes what he considers to be Jewish control of the Federal Reserve Bank, the federal government and the media. Duke supports the preservation of what he labels Western culture and traditionalist Christian "family values", strict Constitutionalism, abolition of the Internal Revenue Service, voluntary racial segregation, ardent anti-communism and white separatism. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes Duke as "the most recognizable figure on the American radical right" and "a neo-Nazi". His views are characterized by racism, antisemitism, and Holocaust denial.
