Thanks to the exposure of his neo-Nazi group's relationship with Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), David Duke is enjoying a moment of national quasi-relevance again-- long after most people thought the expatriate Austrian resident would never be heard from again. Duke joined the KKK when he was 17 and formed his first neo-Nazi group, the White Youth Alliance, when he was a college student in Baton Rouge in 1970.
