    Donald Trump Calls KKK Grand Wizard David Duke A ‘Bad Person’

    Former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard, David Duke, recently called on his supporters to vote for Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump. However, the business mogul firmly disavowed the white supremacist leader, calling him a “bad person.”

    On Sunday, Trump had initially refused to disavow Duke when asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper if he would renounce him and other white supremacist groups that are showing support for his campaign.

    On Thursday, however, Trump was saying the opposite during an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “David Duke is a bad person, who I disavowed on numerous occasions over the years.”

    “I disavowed him. I disavowed the KKK,” Trump continued. “Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time? I disavowed him in the past, I disavow him now.”

    Duke has commended the businessman-turned-politician for his stand on immigration, and told his faithful radio listeners earlier this week that voting for Donald Trump is “the best thing we can do.”

    “Right after (my radio show) came out it was massive news for three days, (Trump) jumped 10 points in the polls,” David Duke boasted in an interview with conservative TV host Steve Malzberg this Wednesday.

    Duke said he has not yet met Trump but explained why people should vote for the Republican candidate.

    “I think people should vote for him,” he said. “I think he’s a challenge to the establishment, he’s the only guy who’s really stood apart on the immigration issue.”

    Also during the interview, David Duke clarified his controversial past, saying he was in a non-violent Klan organization for three years but left the group afterwards. He added that he has always “condemned supremacism” and “violence.” Duke clarified that he is not against blacks or any other race but believes European Americans are being discriminated against in the U.S.

  • David Duke, White Nationalist and Ex-Ku Klux Klansman: Why Isn’t Donald Trump Speaking Out Against His Support?

    David Duke, a known white nationalist and ex-Ku Klux Klansman has unofficially endorsed Donald Trump for president, and that has many people wondering why Trump hasn’t spoken out against Duke’s support.

    The New York Times reports that Trump came under fire on Sunday morning for not disavowing David Duke.

    While David Duke hasn’t made any kind of official endorsement of Donald Trump, he has called him “by far the best candidate.”

    On his radio show in recent days, David Duke said of Trump, “Voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage.”

    “Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke,” Trump said in an interview with CNN. “I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists.”

    This weekend, David Duke continued in his unofficial endorsement, post a lengthy piece about supporting Donald Trump on his Facebook page.

    A spokesperson for Marco Rubio got after Donald Trump in light of David Duke’s support and his refusal to disavow that support.

    “If you need to do research on the K.K.K. before you can repudiate them, you are not ready or fit to be president,” Rubio rep Joe Pounder said.

    Ted Cruz voiced his feelings, as well.

    “I don’t know David Duke,” Donald Trump reiterated on Sunday. “I don’t believe I have ever met him. I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet him. And I just don’t know anything about him.”

    What’s your take on David Duke’s unofficial endorsement of Donald Trump? How do you feel about Trump having yet to speak out against it?

    Could this be the downfall of the Republican presidential hopeful that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are no doubt praying for?
