    First of all, what you stated was
    You based your argument on a use of phrase you quoted him as saying, even though he didn't actually say it. Smart.. but once again, I do believe he was voicing his approval for a statement that Ilhan Omar made, however I do not believe he has anything to support from her outside of that statement. Ilhan Omar is not a candidate David Duke would support or endorse. Contrary to what you claimed, he definitely did not say he support Ilhan Omar, but he did express his approval for a statement she made about Israeli lobbyists.

    Of course I could be wrong, in which case, all you would have to do to prove me wrong is show me where he expressed his support for her beyond that statement. If no such expression exists, then I have no reason to believe he supports her in any way beyond that statement she made.

    Duke did call Omar "the most important member of Congress". Sure sounds kinda like an endorsement, no?

    Understanding the definition of the word "important" that is not what that means

    So if Duke didn't use the word "support," even if he supported her, it's not support?

    Rep. Ilhan Omar ,Minnesota Democrat, has an ally of a new stripe in the furor over her use of anti-Semitic tropes regarding Israel and its American supporters David Duke.

    In a Thursday podcast at his site, the former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard spoke out strongly in favor of the Muslim Congresswoman who has accused Jewish lawmakers of dual loyalty, attributed support for Israel to foreign money, and said Israel has “hypnotized” the world.

    “By defiance to Z.O.G. Ilhan Omar is NOW the most important Member of the US Congress!” Mr. Duke wrote on hissite, using the acronym for “Zionist Occupation Government,” a term anti-Semites use to refer to the U.S. government as secretly controlled by Jews.

    Mr. Duke and co-podcaster Eric Striker, according to the site, “heaped praise on Ilhan Omar (D-New Somalia) for being the one person in Congress willing to notice AIPAC and the “dual” loyalty of many (((members of Congresss))).”

    Triple brackets around names is another private language used by anti-Semites, meaning the named person is secretly Jewish or controlled by Jews.

    The site illustrated the podcast with a picture of Ms. Omar next to a loving emoji with hearts in its eyes.

    That isn't what I said, but clearly your point about assuming when he says "support" he means "support" doesn't hold up, considering he never said what you quoted him as saying. Of course it is possible he could support her without ever using the word "support", and as I said before, he has expressed support for a particular statement made by Ilhan Omar, however I haven't seen anything that would suggest he supports her beyond that single statement. So far I've only seen a variety of articles about that single statement

    I mean, it's easy to just to say "extremists support other extremists". Because that's essentially what it is. The Squad is the left version of responding to Trump. Problem is, the Squad exists primarily for itself, more jobs for all Americans by comparison(the President's domestic record) is something all Americans can benefit from.

    But you do agree that Duke said that she is the most important member of Congress and he heaped praise on her?

    15 pages later and still not a sliver of evidence for Trump's nasty lie.
