COMMENTS:
* Conservatives love making excuses for their leader, Grand Wizard Trump.
* If he really doesn't know who David Duke is he may be the most uninformed person to ever run for the Presidency.
* I'm 33 years old and I don't know who David Duke is, but if your running for Presidenf and your going to let someone endorse you maybe you should find out who they are before you accept their endorsement
* In 2008 Farakhan endorsed 9bama who came back and said he didn't want it. Not long ago a bunch of sexists endorsed Bernoe, he said he didn't want it. The point is not if you know or don't know who they are, the point is if I were looking at a candidate and that candidate were were endorsed by a known hate group and didn't say he didn't want it.. I would look at him in a negative light. He knows who the #$%$ is and exactly what they stand for! Its not something you have to look into
* and the man thats not tue brightest star in the sky and has a problem responding to pointed questions is the man people want to be POTUS?!? Wnt to know how to answer that question? Trump: David Duke, sorry Im not familiar with him. Trapper: he is the grand dragon of the #$%$. Trump: No I do not want nor need his endorsement. Answer over and this is a non issue
* "I don't know anything..." "I can't really say...." "I know nothing about..." This, from the man who would be king. I. Don't. Know.
* ... Trump is both a fool AND a liar. He rejected Duke's support in 2000 when he was contemplating a presidential run with the Reform Party. He's a liar to feign ignorance, and a fool to think he wouldn't be found out.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper asks Donald Trump 3 times if he would condemn David Duke and the KKK
By Colin Campbell, February 28, 2016
CNN anchor Jake Tapper repeatedly asked Donald Trump on Sunday to denounce David Duke's support for his candidacy, but Trump insisted he didn't know anything about the former KKK grand wizard.
"Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don't want his vote and that of other white supremacists in this election?" Tapper asked Trump on "State of the Union."
But Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner, said he didn't have enough information to answer the question:
I don't know anything about David Duke, OK? I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So I don't know. I mean, I don't know — did he endorse me or what's going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists. And so you're asking me a question that I'm supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.BuzzFeed reported last week that Duke, a prominent white nationalist, urged his supporters to back Trump. Duke was quoted saying on his radio show that "voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage."
On his Sunday show, Tapper continued to press Trump on the subject.
"Even if you don't know about their endorsement, there are these groups and individuals endorsing you. Would you just say unequivocally that you condemn them and you don't want their support?" he asked Trump.
But Trump again insisted again he didn't know about Duke:
I have to look at the group. I mean, I don't know what group you're talking about. You wouldn't want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about. I 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."The Ku Klux Klan?" Tapper interjected.
Trump continued his answer without addressing the KKK.
"You may have groups in there that are totally fine and it would be very unfair. So give me a list of the groups, and I'll let you know," he told Tapper.
Tapper seemed somewhat perplexed.
"OK, I mean, I'm just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here, but ..." he said, trailing off and inviting Trump to comment.
"Honestly, I don't know David Duke. I don't believe I've ever met him. I'm pretty sure I've didn't meet him. And I just don't know anything about him," Trump said.
On Friday, Trump briefly said at a press conference that he would disavow Duke's support.
