Yes, I would have responded the same way as Trump did. I also know nothing about David Duke. Why would I want to denigrate any leader of any group I really do not know well? I have never seen or heard Duke’s speeches in 55 years of watching TV.
Has David Duke committed any felonies? Has he murdered anyone? People I really despise are the cowardly radical Muslims who tie up a hapless captured individual’s hands and feet and then they cut his neck off with a dirty knife. DO you know if Duke has done similar vile acts?
Once our politicians refuse to condemn them, then it’ll be a legitimate comparison. But here we have a political candidate going out of his way to avoid saying anything bad about the KKK, and no straw man can obfuscate that.
If you really don’t know what the KKK is, then you truly are a “low-information voter”. But as for the short-fingered vulgarian, he’s not ignorant. He’s just lying to you. Which is what he does.
I understand the frustration that has driven so many to him. I too hate the elites who have taken us for granted for so long. But Trump’s lip service isn’t any better than their lip service, just newer.
I do wonder why his customers are so eager to ignore or rationalize away his constant stream of lies. If he’s willing to lie to you to get the job, he can’t be trusted with it.
