Asked to comment on comparisons between Duke and the Trump campaign during a radio interview with 630 KHOW Denver, Eric Trump agreed after the host said Duke deserves a bullet to the head.

"The guy does deserve a bullet. I mean, these aren't good people," Eric Trump said, as reported first by CNN "These are horrible people. In fact, I commend my father. My father's the first Republican who's gone out and said, 'Listen, what's happened to the African-American community is horrible and I'm going to take care of it.' "

Duke, who is running Senate in Louisiana, on Wednesday reiterated his support for the GOP presidential nominee during a debate.

He has previously vowed to back Trump and support his legislation should he be elected, and Trump drew criticism earlier this year for not immediately disavowing Duke's support.

"As a United States senator, nobody will be more supportive of his legislative agenda, his Supreme Court agenda, than I will," Duke previously told NPR.

"But this is the M.O. of the DNC and, in fact, we go back to the Podesta emails from May-June, there's an email where he's saying, 'Listen, we think Trump has an amazing movement going and we want to make him — the only way we think we can best stop is to make him look like a bigot, racist, xenophobic, this and that.' "
