You have to watch documentaries to know about KKK. For all practical purposes they don't exist. They are only useful every 4 years to throw at the Republican front runner, whoever he might be.

Funny when you look at the thread from 8 years ago when it was:

Obama endorsed by Castro, Chavez, Hamas, Iran, Farrakhan

I guess the difference is Obama quickly denounced the Farrakhan endorsement. That's why Farrakhan was pissed at him for a while.

Has it ever occurred to you that it might be because Trump wants illegal aliens out of our country? There is nothing racist or white nationalist about that. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I don't think these groups would be so upset if the illegals were from Sweden. Just a hunch.

Trump has spoken about Duke in the past. The New York Times quoted Trump in February 2000 as saying, "So the Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep.'' Trump was a member of the Reform Party in 1999; he was referring to Pat Buchanan and Lenora Fulani in addition to Duke.

Um, he doesn't deny saying:

Quote:
“Voting for these people, voting against Donald Trump at this point, is really treason to your heritage,” Duke said on the David Duke Radio Program. BuzzFeed News first reported the comments.



"I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump. In fact, I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action. I hope he does everything we hope he will do.
David Duke: Voting against Donald Trump is 'treason to your heritage' - POLITICO


He did endorse Mr. Trump, though he said, "I haven't formally endorsed him." It's like a burglar stealing your stuff while saying, "I am not a thief".

It shouldn't take any research to determine that white supremacists are espousing that white people are superior to people that are not white, and that the idea itself should be denounced, as well as any group espousing that idea.

Yesterday's video of Trump refusing to disavow or disassociate himself from David Duke and the KKK will be played over and over in the General Election.


Bad move on Trump's part.
