9:45Now PlayingCollege students protested former KKK leader David Duke’s participation in a recent senatorial debate at their school. They were met with cops and pepper spray. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Protesters clashed with police outside a US Senate candidate debate Wednesday in Louisiana that included former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
"Police used pepper spray on protesters as they tried to squeeze through the doors of the debate venue on the New Orleans campus of historically black Dillard University, according to a university spokesman.
"I can taste the pepper spray," Nick Reimann, a writer for Loyola University's student newspaper, tweeted...
Six people, including one student, were arrested for obstructing traffic, the spokesman said.
Outside, protesters carried signs decorated with swastikas declaring "No hate," and "We have not forgotten."
Dillard student group, Socially Engaged Dillard University Students, had vowed to protest the debate after the school denied its request to exclude Duke.
"His presence on our campus is not welcome, and overtly subjects the entire student body to safety risks and social ridicule," SEDUS representatives wrote in an open letter, according to CNN affiliate WGNO.
While spectators were banned from the debate, outside students chanted: "No Duke. No K-K-K, no fascist USA," and tried to force their way into the auditorium,the Times-Picayune reported.
Raycom released a statement before the debate saying that the contest would be "conducted on a closed set," per their rules. Journalists were allowed to watch from a separate room and it was broadcast live locally.
Inside the debate hall, Duke, who has supported Donald Trump's campaign for president, was calling the demonstrators "Black Lives Matter radicals."
Trump has disavowed Duke's support.”*
