CNN anchor Jake Tapper asks Donald Trump 3 times if he would condemn David Duke and the KKK

NN anchor Jake Tapper repeatedly asked Donald Trump on Sunday to denounce David Duke's support for his candidacy, but Trump insisted he didn't know anything about the former KKK grand wizard.

"Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don't want his vote and that of other white supremacists in this election?" Tapper asked Trump on "State of the Union."

But Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner, said he didn't have enough information to answer the question:

I don't know anything about David Duke, OK? I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So I don't know. I mean, 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. And so you're asking me a question that I'm supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.

BuzzFeed reported last week that Duke, a prominent white nationalist, urged his supporters to back Trump. Duke was quoted saying on his radio show that "voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage."

On his Sunday show, Tapper continued to press Trump on the subject.

"Even if you don't know about their endorsement, there are these groups and individuals endorsing you. Would you just say unequivocally that you condemn them and you don't want their support?" he asked Trump.

But Trump again insisted again he didn't know about Duke:

I have to look at the group. I mean, I don't know what group you're talking about. You wouldn't want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about. I have to look. If you would send me a list of the groups, I will do research on them. And certainly I would disavow if I thought there was something wrong.

"The Klu Klux Klan?" Tapper interjected.

Trump continued his answer without addressing the KKK.

"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," he told Tapper.

Tapper seemed somewhat perplexed.

"OK, I mean, I'm just talking about David Duke and the Klu Klux Klan here, but ..." he said, trailing off and inviting Trump to comment.

"Honestly, I don't know David Duke. I don't believe I've ever met him. I'm pretty sure I've didn't meet him. And I just don't know anything about him," Trump said.

Trump keeps retweeting racist posts from racist accounts (one literally had WhiteGenocide in its name). Even if Trump somehow isn't racist, what was he expecting to happen?

If Cruz and Rubio were smart they would use this as a tactic.

Read an article saying they likely won't mention it because voters won't know who David Duke is. Which is a dumb argument since they can just say the KKK endorses him.

Still doubt they'll mention this because they want to convert Trump voters back to their side and insulting them (calling them KKK supporters) wouldn't help.

Trump is trying to win an election by catering to the lowest common denominator. There are a lot of racist in America and he has that vote on lockdown. People are dumb and Trump is playing off the dumb people. There's a bunch of old dumb racist white people who will complain about Obama Care and be sitting overweight broken down on a wheelchair and on be medicare, but they will go out and vote. People need to vote.
