Donald Trump wouldn’t disavow former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke’s support for his presidential bid, saying Sunday that he knows nothing about the white supremacist leader.
“Just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke, OK?” Trump told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
Trump was pressed three times on whether he’d distance himself from the Ku Klux Klan — but never mentioned the group in his answers.
“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.”
Now, Mussolini—there’s a guy I can get behind!
Of course he won’t admit he knows anything about the KKK. He doesn’t want to lose his voter base. He forgets in the national election there will be people who are not idiots or racist or both.

Let’s just hope those people aren’t outnumbered by the ones who are idiots or racists or both. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American populace.
