PLEASE tell me how Trump isn't appealing to the bigot vote... February 29, 2016 2:55 pm RL

Go ahead, try and deny it again…

Steve said I was ‘obsessed’ with Trump… He is the fascist white supremacist that is poised to take the GOP nomination, I think that warrants some discussion… don’t You?

Jake Tapper asked if Trump would distance himself from an endorsement by David Duke, former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Duke has told his radio audience that voting against Trump would be “treason to your heritage.”

Trump refused to condemn that endorsement or say he didn’t want the support of white supremacists — four times.

“I don’t know anything about David Duke. I don’t know what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacist. I don’t know. I don’t know, did he endorse me, or what’s going on?” he said. That prompted a back-and-forth that went, in part:

Trump: I don’t know what group you’re talking about. You wouldn’t want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about. … If you would send me a list of the groups, I will do research on them and certainly I would disavow them if I thought there was something wrong.
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: I’m just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here.
Trump: Honestly, I don’t know David Duke.

Honestly, I don’t know David Duke.
That is OBVIOUSLY a lie- even if we didn’t have his own words proving it to be a lie…

Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” suggested business mogul Donald Trump’s refusal to disavow the Ku Klux Klan could disqualify him from the presidential race.

“It’s breathtaking. That is disqualifying right there,” Scarborough said Monday. “To say you don’t know about the Ku Klux Klan? You don’t know about David Duke?”

“Is he really so stupid that he thinks Southerners aren’t offended by the Ku Klux Klan and David Duke?” Scarborough continued. “Is he really so ignorant of Southern voters that he thinks this is the way to their heart? To go neutral, to play Switzerland when you’re talking about the Klan?”
