Former KKK Humanitarian David Duke Endorses Trump! Trump refuses to denounce The Puke! Therefore???

Trump appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper this morning and the host three times asked the former reality TV star to comment on the support he'd received from the odious Duke, who this week said, "v****g against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage."

[SEE: Editorial Cartoons on Donald Trump]

Trump's reply, per Media Matters:

Well just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke, OK? I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with w***e s*******y or w***e s*********ts. So, I don't know. I don't know, did he endorse me, or what's going on? Because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about w***e s*********ts. And so you're asking me a question that I'm supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.
He kept repeating his assertion that he didn't know anything about Duke, the Klan – even when Tapper twice name-checked them – or w***e s*********t groups. "I have to look at the group," he said when asked about organizations denounced by the Anti-Defamation League. "I don't know what group you are talking about, you wouldn't want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about; I'd have to look. If you would send me a list of the groups, I will do research on them and certainly I would disavow if I thought there was something wrong."

It's actually not very hard to denounce people like Duke: Trump did it himself on Friday. Per The Hill:

Republican p**********l candidate Donald Trump on Friday disavowed a former Ku Klux Klan leader's support.

"I didn't even know he endorsed me," Trump said while unveiling an endorsement from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, when asked about former KKK grand wizard David Duke's support.

"David Duke endorsed me? OK, alright. I disavow, OK?" Trump said, seeking to quickly move on to another question.


But if he really needs to do research on Duke and his ilk – and I envision Trump hunched over a laptop, hunt-and-pecking for "Duke" and K-K-K in Google – he can start with the oped that he penned for the Times on February 19, 2000 (h/t Justin Green) explaining why he was not going to seek the Reform Party nomination. He wrote about how America might be "ready for a businessman president" and how exploring such a run was the "greatest civics lesson that a private citizen can have" before growing concerned about the Reform Party's "fringe element" including "Elvis look-alikes, resplendent in various campaign buttons and anxious to give me a pamphlet explaining the Swiss-Z*****t conspiracy to control America."

He concluded:

I leave the Reform Party to David Duke, Pat Buchanan and Lenora Fulani. That is not company I wish to keep.
Duke was so well-known that Trump didn't feel the need to identify him in the oped, though he had several days earlier when issuing a statement withdrawing from the race: "The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-N**i, Mr. Buchanan, and a c*******t, Ms. Fulani," he said then. "This is not company I wish to keep." Well 16 years is a long time (even if Trump does have "the world's greatest memory"). Maybe Trump, unique among Americans who aren't brain-dead, has forgotten who Duke is, what the Klan is. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/robert-schlesinger/articles/2016-02-28/donald-trump-denounced-david-duke-before-he-refused-to-denounce-david-duke Hail To Hitler?

Never heard Dem. Sen. Robert Byrd denouncing the KKK either, but I guess the "dem. double standard" covers that.

I think this writer and this poster are TRYING TO START A CIVIL WAR, AND IF THEY CONTINUE WITH THE LIES DESIGNED TO DESTROY GOOD PEOPLE, WILL EVENTUALLY SUCCEED. That, of course, is why they are trying to disarm us at all cost. They are NOT KEEPING weapons to protect themselves. They claim to be extremely frightened of weapons, although all these gangs that exist today have weapons and no one cries about that for some unfathomable reason, but then, no one has accused any l*****t of being anything close to smart either.

Trump is not responsible for anything David Duke says, any more than CB is responsible for OJ murdering two unarmed people. What a simple minded person the author of the article is!!!!

Is the writer lying on Ted Cruz or not? That's the issue.

The T***h of the matter, the democratic party is scared to death of Trump,they can't control the people who are all for him. So now they are on the attack on Trump by using the one thing that they do control & that is the KKK.They say k**lery is out leading poll wise in the deep south.The KKK is there. Also do you think for one minute that if they didn't control the KKK do you really think Opuck would have lasted his first 4 months in oval office.Yep people they do and can. The liberals rang per say 99.99% of the Klan, hell even LBJ back then was a head red d**gon,99% of all s***e plantations were owned by liberals.An now they are turning them out against Trump, democrats will do anything to stay in charge.An the rest of the liberal DEAF/DUMB/BLIND sheep will follow.

Actually, Duke came short of actually endorsing Trump.

He is a puke, and a degenerate.

He's the white version of 'Black L***s M****r'.

I hope Americans remember that on E******n Day.
