"I dont know anything about David Duke, okay," Trump said. "I dont know anything about what youre even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. 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."

In 2000, Trump declined to run for president as a member of the Reform Party because the "Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani.

Anyone that is endorsed by the "Grand Wizard" of the KKK (David Duke) is one of them don't you think?
Like father like son IMO.
This isn't going to blow over tomorrow.
This time around three persons died plus many injured all in the name of hatred and bigotry. tRump is far from being innocent and is an accessory to this incident.
