9:31Now PlayingRecently Donald Trump was on CNN’s "State Of The Union” and he was asked about an endorsement he received by former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke. Specifically, if he would condemn the group. Trump played dumb…er. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Two days after disavowing an endorsement from David Duke, Donald Trump suggested Sunday that he doesn’t know anything about the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard. But that was not his tune back in 2000.
“I disavow it, OK,” he said on Friday when asked about Duke urging white supremacists to support his campaign.
But in an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union, Trump declined to unequivocally condemn the racism of Duke or disavow the support of white supremacists. Instead, he feigned ignorance.
“Well, just so you understand, I don’t anything about David Duke, OK? I don’t even know anything about what you’re talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. Did he endorse me, or what’s going on? I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists,” Trump told Tapper.”*
