according to wikipedia......

"After meeting Duke, Gritz described him as "a brash, untraveled, overly opinionated, bigoted young man" and declared, "I will not support anyone that I know to hate any class of Americans."[30]"

i'm trying to remember his involvement in the iran hostage rescue attempt if anyone has that memory.
