He was NEVER elected to congress as anything.He won a special election to a vacated seat in in the Louisiana statehouse and served the one term.He failed in multiple attempts to win various offices as a democrat,republican,and independent.
He repeated it again this morning, tweeted I disavow David Duke's support.
Transcript from this morning's interview:
JAKE TAPPER (HOST): I want to ask you about the Anti-Defamation League, which this week called on you to publicly condemn unequivocally the racism of former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, who recently said that voting against you at this point would be treason to your heritage. Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don't want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this election?
DONALD TRUMP: 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 white supremacy or white supremacists. 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 white supremacists. And so you're asking me a question that I'm supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.
TAPPER: But I guess the question from the Anti-Defamation League is even if you don't know about their endorsement there are these groups and individuals endorsing you, would you just say unequivocally you condemn them and you don't want their support?
TRUMP: Well I have to look at the group. 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, but --
TAPPER: The Ku Klux Klan?
TRUMP: -- 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.
TAPPER: OK, I mean I'm just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here, but --
TRUMP: I don't know any -- 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.

I corrected my post, was typing it out to quick and somehow removed half of my post. He won a State House seat as a Republican and won, later ran for President, Governor and Congress as a Republican, placing 2nd in the Jungle Primary (leading all Republicans) when he ran for Governor.
He doesn't know they are a white supremacist organization with a history of murder, terrorism, and conspiracy?
he didn't say that...he said he doesn't know any of these white supremacist groups who call themselves the K.K.K. endorsing him.......is not like the leader of these groups called Trump and endorsed him on the phone.
the media looking for ratings and morons who fall for it.
