*In their podcast “The Twins Pod” (releasing today/12-06-24) the Hodgetwins—Kevin and Keith Hodge— are set to spark significant controversy by featuring former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke as a guest.

The episode took a surprising turn when the twins handed Duke an “N-word pass,” a moment that has ignited debates about race, comedy, and accountability within the context of modern media.

During the podcast preview, the Hodgetwins posed a series of provocative questions to Duke, including an inquiry about whether he had ever “been a part of any lynchings.” Duke responded with an emphatic, “Oh God, no,” attempting to distance himself from his past. The former Klan leader also shared his controversial views on immigration and demographic changes in America, framing them as part of a so-called “Great Replacement.” One of the Hodgetwins chimed in, stating, “Even Blacks have been replaced. We used to be number two in this country,” a comment that Duke readily agreed with, indicating the sensitive nature of their dialogue. This kind of commentary has left many listeners questioning the twins’ judgment in engaging with such a divisive figure.

The conversation escalated when the twins asked Duke about his attraction to Black women during his time in the Klan, to which he responded, “No, I never was. I was always partial to White girls.” It was at the end of this controversial exchange that the twins presented Duke with a tongue-in-cheek “N-word pass,” further amplifying the podcast’s already charged atmosphere.
