I am sorry that you disagree. But based on what he said
This is what he said
"I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists," he said. "So I don't know. 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."
My translation is that:
I certainly have no ideas David Duke or the KKK endorsed me because I had no relationships or had nothing to do with them.

There was a KKK rally just a few days ago in Anaheim, CA.
That was yesterday. A small group of Klan members tried to rally at a park. They were met by a larger group of Anaheim residents who told them, basically, to get the F out of Anaheim.

Really? I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about me. But please don't give me a carp. Aren't they bottom feeders?
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.
Where is the video of this conversation, because the transcript clearly notates that they were talking over each other. That's what -- means. It looks like to me that Trump was talking about how he doesn't know David Duke, doesn't know all the groups that have endorsed him, but if Tapper wanted to give him a list of those groups, he would research them, and Trapper was talking while Trump was talking.
For those who don't know transcription, -- does not mean a pause, it means the conversation is overlapping - both people are talking at the same time.
Oh please, he was asked quite simply to denounce it and he refused to do so. He couldn't have been handed an easier softball question...
In my opinion, the sneaky interviewer put him on the spot, I would have said the same thing if I were Trump, perhaps a little but more confrontational. The interviewer had a hidden agenda.
I would have said, "Why do you ask ME to denounce it in public? do you think I have something to do with the KKK or David Duke?"
