The former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke, publicly backed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) over comments she made that were overwhelmingly condemned as anti-Semitic.

Omar theorized that lawmakers support Israel because they are being paid to do so; when questioned, she claimed that AIPAC, or the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, was behind a scheme to exchange funding for politicians in return for supporting Israel.
