Mike Pence Facing Heat for Declining to Call David Duke 'Deplorable'

If the KKK isn't deplorable, then what is?

Hillary Clinton: "If you won’t say the KKK is deplorable, you have no business running the country."

What's deplorable? Easy, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. I thought everyone already knew that.

Personally, I don't think a political candidate should call any person they would be representing "deplorable". Hillary needs to take her "deplorable" comments and questions and stick them in her diaper with the rest of her horse poopy!

So, I guess she is still with us.

@Misanthrope83: Communists? It's the GOP candidate that's sucking up to Putin -- who wants to rebuild the USSR -- not the Democrats.

And hil gushed over her "reformed" former KKK "mentor" byrd as an old man at 83 still using an ugly racist word in an interview(it's all over youtube), the "N" word, during his supposed "reformed" racist klan years. What a slime bucket. This is the man clinton says she admires/her "mentor", "a man of surpassing eloquence and nobility." as clinton is quoted as saying.

Sen. Byrd Apologizes for Racial Epithet - ABC News

Perhaps time to get off the tired topic OP of KKK/white supremicts/race games given hil hil's view on the matter of her former kkk buddy byrd and her choice statements over the years that were seen as racist by many?

Hillary was right, Nutty Don is looking for the Alt-right vote. Mike Pence better hope he and Nutty Don win, as his political career is over if not

Is David Duke still involved with the KKK?

She certainly didn't use the word "deplorable" when this happened.

Flashback: Hillary Clinton Praised Former KKK Member Robert Byrd as 'Friend and Mentor'



Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me.

Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me.
It's also true that Robert Byrd was a member of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s and helped establish the hate group's chapter in Sophia, West Virginia. However, in 1952 Byrd avowed that "After about a year, I became disinterested [in the KKK], quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization," and throughout his long political career (he served for 57 years in the United States Congress) he repeatedly apologized for his involvement with the KKK:
"I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times ... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened."
Second, while David Duke is no longer a member of the Ku Klux Klan, he is still an active member of another white supremacist organization, NAAWP: the National Association for the Advancement of White People. Duke, a prominent Holocaust denier (although he describes himself as a "Holocaust exposer"), also has a more-than-passing interest in politics: the former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives has run for the U.S. Senate, governor of Louisiana, and President of the United States. Duke has spent his life founding and supporting various white nationalist and white supremacist groups, while Byrd, by contrast, spent the majority of his life publicly disavowing and repeatedly apologizing for hisearly KKK affiliation.

See the difference?

Nothing to see here but the usual suspects defending the indefensible by deflecting, and refusing to address the actual topic...
