Twitter Bans David Duke!

Twitter banned White extremist troll David Duke.

White nationalist David Duke is no longer trolling on Twitter. The former Klan leader and perennial candidate has been notorious for breaking Twitter's rules and continues to traffic hate speech.

On Friday, the official handle for Duke has been "permanently suspended for repeated violations of Twitter rules on hateful conduct," the company said in a statement.

It didn't specify what exactly Duke posted that triggered the ban, but its policy on hateful conduct prohibits promoting violence or threatening attacks against people based on religious affiliation, race and ethnic origin.

Duke, is a supporter of Donald J. Trump and endorsed his presidency in 2016. Trump refused to denounce Duke and claimed he never heard of him.

Duke is very critical of Israel and the Zionist government. He has denounced Israeli's attempt at taking land from the Palestinians. He has often called Jews, "Zio" as an insult towards their religion.

He is a conspiracy nut. He believes the coronavirus is a hoax and doesn't believe over 200,000 Americans died from this deadly disease.

Duke has said nasty things about African Americans, Hispanics, transgenders and people who criticized him. The social media platform said the ban was in line with its recently updated policy aimed at cutting down on harmful links.

Duke was the clean-cut version of The Klan. He lead the group as their Grand Wizard from 1974 to 1978. He was considered an agent provocateur. The Klan thinks of him as a "sell-out" and "traitor" to their cause.

The Anti-Defamation League has described Duke as "perhaps America's most well-known racist and anti-Semite."
