Drum roll please.

Fresh off his ouster from CNN after tweeting “Sieg Heil!”, Jeffrey Lord is back…and is writing for Breitbart!

Lord, who made a name for himself on cable news as the most dedicated (and often comical) defender of President Donald Trump, published his first piece for the right-wing website — and did not disappoint.

The post kicks off with a amazing headline that promises a contortion of logic that only Lord could deliver: “Hillary Clinton Is the New David Duke.”

The piece is slightly confusing, beginning a quote allegedly from David Duke that Lord reveals is actually one from Hillary Clinton (with “black people” subbed in for “white people”).

Lord is taking aim at Clinton’s claim, on CBS Sunday Morning, that her former rival, now President Trump, was successful at tapping into the grievances of white people.

That comment did not sit well with Lord, who accused Clinton of sounding “exactly like former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, blaming her loss on race.”

Lord continued by bashing the Democratic party as racist:

“Clinton is a believer in ‘identity politics’ — the grandchild of slavery and the son of segregation, the latter two racist policies the political fuel for Clinton’s party from its birth, not to mention the later ‘progressive movement’ that was folded into the party by Woodrow Wilson.”

In typical Lord fashion, the rest of the piece rambles about obscure 20th Century historical events, with a list of the Democratic party’s most racist greatest hits, including when President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed a one-time member of the Ku Klux Klan to the Supreme Court (Lord incorrectly identifies Hugo Black as a “lifetime member” of the KKK — he resigned two years after joining.)

Lord managed to tie in a few points about Confederate monuments, before wrapping things up by accusing the media of not having “the guts to call Hillary out as the new David Duke.”

“Not to worry,” Lord reassured in what may be a preview of what’s come from his tenure at Breitbart: “In this corner? I will.”
