Why he might be annoying:

He hates anyone who isn't white.
Running as a Republican, Duke won a Louisiana State Legislature seat in January 1989. Despite scrutiny and opposition from national Republican leaders.
While in office, he continued selling neo-Nazi literature. He also made statements such as 'Jews are trying to destroy all other cultures.'
He used the internet as a way of getting his racist views to people. An article prominently featured on his site (Before 1998), 'The Coming White Revolution -- Born on the Internet,' outlines his high hopes that the Internet will 'facilitate a world-wide revolution of White awareness.'
He wanted to get the Ku Klux Klan 'out of the cow patch and into the board meeting.' Which means he wanted a more mainstream Ku Klux Klan.
He caused a headache for Republicans by publicly endorsing and supporting Donald Trump for president (February 2016).

Why he might not be annoying:

He looks weak and harmless.
He received his BA in History in 1974 from LSU.
He worked for the US State Department in Laos during the Vietnam War where he instructed anticommunist Laotian military officers, for which he won the 'Most Respected Instructor Award.'
