What do you think of this answer by Donald Trump? The question was about the guy who is the Leader of the KKK.?

Here's Trump's response:

"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 didn't meet him. And I just don't know anything about him," Trump said.

Did he dodge the question, or does he endorse Duke?

    I think he dodged the question. But, based upon the fact that his father was arrested at a Klan demonstration in the late 1920s, my guess is that Trump still has some affinity for Klan beliefs.

  • How can he say he endorsed Duke. He said he does not know anything about him. Enough said. I despise Trump, but this is more "gotcha" "journalism". Also, Duke is NOT the head of the KKK. He is, or at least used to be a high ranking member, but he is not the head of that vile organization.

    Trump has nothing to gain by taking an endorsement from the KKK. Honestly, it could only hurt him. It's sad thr media would insult him by asking.

    Tapper is a Democrat operative who's mission is to take down all GOP candidates who oppose the gang of 8 immigration bill.

    He doesn't care about David Duke; As he is just using this as an excuse to knock Trump out of the race.

    Trump wrote that Duke was a bigot back in 2000. So either Trump's phenomenal memory is somewhat less phenomenal than he claims, or he's lying.

    It sounds like David Duke is such a minor player that Trump didn't even remember who he is at first. David Duke primarily exists in the minds of libtards, who drag his name out from time to time for no apparent reason.

    he's lying

    Trump has to know who David Duke is and the kind of evil that David Duke represents

    The right answer is

    " While I don't personally know David Duke , I do know what kind of evil he represents and I have zero tolerance for that brand of evil "

  • He is trying not to offend his KKK followers.

    A man doing his best to avoid having to bad mouth his supporters. Remember, this is the same man who egged on his supporters who were beating a protester at a rally.
