"Wrong! He was asked Duke and his “GROUP”, never used the word KKK."

That's demonstrably false - the questioner specifically said "I'm talking about the KKK." And Donald kept insisting that he couldn't possibly disavow any of those groups.

But even so, Trump is now claiming he doesn't know who David Duke is? The same David Duke who drove Trump out of the Reform Party, when Trump said he had to leave because David Duke had joined and he didn't want to be associated with scumbags like that? Now Trump has forgotten who David Duke is?

Trump has no core principles. When disavowing the KKK has to first be subjected to a marketing calculus, it's clear that there are no actual values in play. Which is fine - his voters don't care about that, just as they don't care about his lies. But we can stop pretending that Donald will have some magic crossover appeal, or that he'll somehow be able to draw in minority voters.

Please stop imitating the leftist media. I shoukld not have to waste my time answering your imitating the leftist media. But one last time I will take the pains.

When the question was INITIALLY posed to Trump, it did NOT include the word KKK. The question was asked, would you, Mr Trump, disavow Duke and his group?

Trump answered, I would have to know more about what group you are talking about. Then it was FOLLOWED UP by saying even if the group is KKK? T which Trump answered if it is KKK then of course I disavow it, but you are asking a question with “IF”, which makes it a hypothetical question.....paraphrasing.
