‘He’s Just Like Us’: NY Daily News Cover Blasts Trump’s Support From Ex-KKK Grand Wizard

Once again, the NY Daily News is using its provocative covers to take a bite out of Donald Trump.

The paper has made it clear in the past that it does not like the GOP frontrunner… I mean, really, they absolutely hate everything about him. Of course, various aspects of Trump’s rhetoric have caused some to label him as a racist, and that concern probably isn’t alleviated by the fact that white supremacist figures are now advocating on his behalf.

One particular instance of this occurred yesterday when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke told his radio show audience to volunteer for Trump and remind people that to vote for anyone else is “treason to your heritage.” Naturally, the NYDN picked up on this, and it seems they don’t exactly approve:

As for how people reacted on Twitter, it was a mixed bag:

@NYDailyNews @realDonaldTrump somehow Donald Trump will find a way to make this endorsement LOOK like a positive
