Duh! Even Trump's poorly educated supporters (like Keep, Beth and DeathValleyDustBunny) know who David Duke is.

Trump: I don't know what group you're talking about. You wouldn't want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about. ... If you would send me a list of the groups, I will do research on them and certainly I would disavow them if I thought there was something wrong.
Tapper: The Ku Klux Klan?
Trump: 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.
Tapper: I'm just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here.
Trump: Honestly, I don't know David Duke.

In 2000, when he ended his presidential campaign, Trump cited Duke's participation in the Reform Party as one reason he no longer wanted the party's nomination.
"The Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. [Pat][ Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. [Lenora] Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep," he wrote in his statement.

Actually that was a smart move on the part of because Jake lumped in all groups and you know damn well the is not up on everything he should be LOL. Somewhere, someone on his campaign is frantically looking up all these groups and what DD is affiliated with IMO

Jake didn't lump in all groups. He specifically asked about David Duke and the KKK. Trump is full of Baloney, IMO. He knows what the KKK is all about. He didn't want to answer the question because he didn't want to piss them off and loose their votes or upset those who do support him. He was between a rock and a hard place. I wish his followers would wake up and realize that he is playing all of them.

Donald Trump's dad arrested in KKK brawl with cops.According to a New York Times article published in June 1927, a man with the name and address of Donald Trump's father was arraigned after Klan members attacked cops in Queens, N.Y.

Exactly.
Tapper: "OK. I'm just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here,"
And Trump said: "Honestly, I don't know David Duke. I don't believe I've ever met him. I'm pretty sure I didn't meet him.
And I just don't know anything about him."

He knew exactly what Jake Tapper was asking him, but he tried to skirt around the question...Yeah, when DT (DD) is cornered he claims to not know or have even heard about some people ...as he did with the handicapped journalist, ...he even made fun of him...Now to find out that his dad was part of the KKK...OMG!!....But some will still believe him, so it doesn't even make a difference with the crazies that follow him.
I think that white hood goes well with his beliefs and the racist comments he makes against everyone.
