David Duke Also Thinks Gal Gadot Is A Person Of Color
Guess who also thinks Gal Gadot isn’t white?
White supremacist leader David Duke approvingly tweeted a recent Times Of Israel op-ed that asserts that Gadot, along with all Ashkenazi Jews, are in fact people of color, and not white.

“In other words, they’re not white people,” Duke said the Wednesday edition of his podcast with Don Advo.
The page also has references to Martin Luther King’s “Jewish communist ghost writer,” “CNN, Goldman Sachs, and the Zionist Matrix,” among other anti-Semitic tropes.
Despite his racist bona fides, in the ‘Wonder Woman’ dispute, Duke actually has some progressive allies who assert that Gadot shouldn’t be considered white because she is such a radical departure in the superhero genre.
