Glad you cleared that up! Not going to ask how you know.

The question seems reasonable, as some KKK sort of groups have endorsed trump, and maybe some person who is a voter would like to know what he thinks of them. Of course, if he denounced the KKK, he might lose more votes than he would gain, tho.

It seems with trump, any question that he doesn't like is a 'gotcha' question. Maybe someone should post a new thread asking who on CD would denounce the KKK and see how many people respond saying it is a 'gotcha' question.

I knew Trump was stupid but it takes a special kind of stupid to claim not to know who he is.

Or more likely Trump is counting on the stupidity of his fans, again.

Trump lies and his fans swoon.

Anything short of, tell us how wonderful you are Donald, tell us how terrific you are Donald, is an unfair gotcha question to his fans.

Default Trump knows nothing about white supremacy or the KKK

Just wow.

Donald Trump Now Says He 'Knows Nothing' About the KKK Leader He Publicly Denounced in 2000

I guess he doesn't want to miss out on the votes.

There are currently about 5,000 KKK members. But there are many more people who agree with their philosophy to varying degrees. His disavowal could alienate many voters.

Lol. Is Trump so stupid as to not know who the KKK is? Tapper specifically referenced the KKK.

What I would have said is "Jake, it's a stupid question and if you can't do better than this your network needs to ask for a refund of some of your salary".
The correct answer is - YES, I denounce the KKK and what they stand for. Bottom line, he didn't want to cheese off his base.

gotta give Donald his props for knowing how to really play the media
I have given him props many times for his manipulation of the media. He is a master at this.

Hmm. Today he REFUSED to disavow it and claimed he didn't know who David Duke was. Face the Nation with Jake Tapper.
