Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said Tuesday he didnāt hesitate to disavow an endorsement from a former Ku Klux Klan leader but he needed to check out what āgroupā he was associated with before responding.
āNow, right after the program weāre talking about, and I thought it was clear, but weāre talking about groups, groups, groups, I do have to know the name of the group because who knows. They have to give me the name of the group,ā Trump, flanked by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, said in a press conference in Palm Beach, Florida.
I donāt know anything about David Duke, OK? I donāt know anything about what youāre even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So I donāt know. I mean, I donāt know ā did he endorse me or whatās going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke**. I know nothing about white supremacists. And so youāre asking me a question that Iām supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.**
Tapper pushed back. Trump suggested Tapper send him a list of āthe groupsā and he could research them. At which point, Trump said he would ādisavow if I thought there was something wrong.ā
āThe Ku Klux Klan?ā Tapper asked.
āIt would be very unfair,ā Trump continued talking over Tapper. āSo give me a list of the groups and Iāll let you know.ā
āIām just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here,ā Tapper said.
āHonestly, I donāt know David Duke,ā Trump said. āI donāt believe Iāve ever met him, Iām pretty sure I didnāt meet him, and I just donāt know anything about him.ā
Duke ran for governor of Louisiana in 1991 as a Republican, and Trump said at the time that President George H.W. Bush was right āto come out againstā Dukeās campaign. Duke lost but he won a majority of the white vote ā which Trump found troubling. āI hate seeing what it represents,ā Trump said, referring to what he called the āanger vote.ā
In 2000, Trump considered running for the Reform Party presidential nomination but did not run because he said he did not want to be associated with Pat Buchanan, who had left the Republican Party to seek the Reform Party nomination, and David Duke, who supported Buchanan. Trump at the time called Duke āa bigot, a racist, a problem.ā

Here goes
Three men, a priest, a politician and a millionaire all went up to you and told you
Fifteen years ago, that if this country didnāt do something about the minority āproblemā, then bad things were going to happen.
Though all were speaking in code, you pretty much (via any two) that if you supported this type of rhetoric.
(Robert Byrd renounced the Klan ties more than once. Robert Byrd is dead, now Mike Huckabee and Donald Trump are alive, but hey: good genes are a blessing.)
Now back then, you renounce those views, because again, to be associated with that lot put you in that rotten sphere.
Now you decide to run for higher office
Though itās smarter to say the subtle things about race and immigration, you go ābull in the China shop crazyā and say what should get rejected.
It doesnāt and you become famous and popular, especially among the guys who you rejected.
However you get asked by a reporter to reject an endorsement from one of those guys.
Do you do it?
Yea or nay.
Iām going to ignore the peanut gallery, because no one can truthfully answer for you.
Iāll wait.

When you endorsed your racist landlord fatherās scummy tactics, you must disavow.
When you question the citizenship of the first black president you must disavow.
When you questions the academic qualifications of Americaās first black (and Ivy League educated) president, you must disavow.
When you launch your campaign by impugning hispanic immigrants as rapists, you must disavow.
When your supporters beat up immigrants and your response is that it great that your supporters are so enthusiastic, you must disavow.
When you propose to bar an entire group of people from the country solely based on their religion, you must disavow.
When you disseminate blatently false and racist crime statistics, you must disavow.
When your supporters beat up a black man during one of your rallies, and you respond, maybe he deserved it for interrupting my event, you must disavow.
When you pretend not to know who David Duke is, you must disavow.
Disavow. Disavow. Disavow. You scumbag.
