Trump Blames ‘Lousy Earpiece’ for Not Denouncing David Duke

The Daily Beast ^ | 2/29/16

Donald Trump blamed a “lousy earpiece” for why he claimed he didn’t know who David Duke was during a CNN interview on Sunday.

On NBC’s Today show Monday, Trump said he knows who Duke is (a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who will vote for him), but claimed he never met him.

Trump also said he only didn’t know the white-supremacist groups that host Jake Tapper asked him about.

Nevertheless, Trump refused several opportunities to denounce the racists supporting him. On Sunday night, he tweeted that he disavowed their support.

Yes.

Because who CARES who David Duke is? The KKK is irrelevant.

[manc]

Now we have a couple of freepers who keep posting this. They are on each others threads mentioning this and then posts another article about it.

Seems a couple of freepers have been taking lessons or orders off the media

[Don Corleone]

More gotcha journalism. But it keeps Trump on the air 24/7 while Cruz and Rubio are nowhere to be seen.

They are busy checking one anothers glove sizes.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It’s all over for Trump now! He’s crossed the line this time!

[Larry Lucido]

I have an earpiece that denounces David Duke all day long. Maybe I have his ear piece by mistake.

[Stentor]

The KKK is irrelevant.

Where else would the FBI train its undercover agents where they are a majority of the members?

[USS Alaska]

He doesn't care about being elected--his purpose in running is to destroy the Republican Party.

I was wrong, I thought cincinatus wife was the absolute most insane FReeper regarding hatred and stupidity about Trump but you take the cake.

It's morning, put down the corn likker, the bong pipe and have some coffee. Go back to bed, take your meds, call your shrink, take a shower, it will pass.

You are totally and completely insane to post a sentence like the one above, Bless your heart.

[LMAO]

You said...
“Trump is being smart by dodging this standard mainstream media attack tactic. Trump does not have the slightest idea of who David Duke is, so why should he get involved in denouncing him. This is simply a needless distraction.”

Agree

Trump disavowed David Duke’s endorsement at a presser with Christie the other day. I watched him say “I disavow” when he was asked about it. This is the stupidest thing yet.

[odawg]

There certainly was some kind of trouble in transmission. They were talking over each other.

[patq]

Let’s see, Trump disavowed Duke years ago and and at a press conference on Saturday. Yet for some reason there are idiots out there that think he was ok with it on Sunday. Dopes. No wonder why Trump’s lead keeps growing. LOL!

[Zathras]

Again with this trash?
We already know this was a twitter setup by Hillary supporters

[SoothingDave]

Yet for some reason there are idiots out there that think he was ok with it on Sunday.

Watch the video. Trump claims he doesn't know who Duke is. which is odd considering all of his cultists here keep saying he disavowed him on Friday.

Trump does know who David Duke is, however. In 2000, when he said he would not seek the Reform Party nomination, Trump said that the party was too splintered to successfully back a presidential candidate.

“As you know, the Reform Party has got some pretty big problems,” Trump said on World News Now in 2000. “Not the least of which is Pat Buchanan, David Duke, Fulani, and it’s a problem.”

Trump also wrote in the New York Times, “Although I am totally comfortable with the people in the New York Independence Party, I leave the Reform Party to David Duke, Pat Buchanan and Lenora Fulani. That is not company I wish to keep.”

Trump also denounced Duke 15 years ago:

In 2000, Trump called Duke “a Klansman” when the businessman decided to end his exploration of a run for president, according to The New York Times.

“The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke,” Trump said in a statement. “This is not company I wish to keep.”

[Democrat_media]

Trump 49% , Charlatan Cruz 15%

HA HA HA ! Go Trump!

In the following video Senator Jeff Sessions says that Trump will STOP TPP ! TPP is the worst thing ever for America and Cruz was instrumental in getting TPA TPP passed:

This is great video of Sessions endorsing Trump in a rally in Alabama!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ83CvMKYUQ

TPP allows 3rd world countries to flood the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrant workers to take away your job(Trade in “services”). There are almost 4 billion 3rd world people in China and India alone , they’re smarter than you and have tech skills . So vote for Cruz if you want to lose your job

Sweet Home Alabama!

I’m In Louisiana but I love Alabama !

TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership or Obamatrade is the worst thing ever for America).

Also your Cruz voted for the Corker bill that will allow Iran to build nuclear weapons.

[justlittleoleme]

So Trump obviously knew who David Duke was.

[QuigleyDU]

Trump claimed later that the earpiece was bad and he couldn’t hear the question clearly. That seems unlikely.
Two possibilities:

(1)To create a media firestorm so everyone will be talking about this, putting him at the center of attention and diverting attention from stories like whether he will release his tax returns.

(2)He doesn’t care about being elected—his purpose in running is to destroy the Republican Party. The net impact after the details are forgotten will be to make it easier for the Democrats to claim that the Republicans are no different than the KKK.

1) hmmm...huh
2) Nah, his ego is to big to be used as a pawn of the Clintons

[GeaugaRepublican]

David Duke moved to Russia I thought.

Who keeps up with all these minor personalities?

Another Hail Mary pass by the desperate ones.

[SamAdams76]

Trump must be doing pretty good if this is all they can find to smear him with.

That well must be running dry.
