“One of Higgins’ first appearances in the public record came in a 1992 newspaper article dug up by
Bayou Brief, a Louisiana publication that has
investigated the congressman. Higgins, then 30, was commenting on Pat Buchanan’s run for president, which came one year after the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard and neo-Nazi David Duke was nearly elected governor of Louisiana.
“Duke won’t get the vote. Pat will. Pat represents much of the same positions,” Higgins explained to a reporter while attending a Buchanan rally—correctly sussing out
Buchanan’s white nationalism. “Regardless of the fact that David’s a homeboy and all that, the boy’s a Nazi, and that’s a real problem.”
Still, Higgins admitted that he’d recently voted for David Duke for governor of Louisiana (a man who once
decorated his college dorm room with a Nazi flag and picture of Adolf Hitler).”
Yeah, I’m sure the guy who voted for David Duke and Pat Buchanan isn’t racist.
