Former KKK leader David Duke to run for Senate

Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke said on Friday he will run as a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Louisiana, saying he believes in equal rights for all Americans.

"However, what makes me different is that I also respect and demand the respect of rights and heritage of European Americans," Duke said in a video posted on his website.
