I Had 'Lousy Earpiece' During CNN Interview On David Duke

TAPPER: Okay. I'm just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here.

"The question was asked about David Duke and 'various groups, ' and I don't know who the groups are", Trump said. I don't know what you're even talking about with "white supremacy" or 'white supremacist.' So, I don't know.

"If Donald Trump can't take a stand against the KKK, we cannot trust him to stand up for America against Putin, Iran or ISIS", he said.

"We can not be a party who refuses to condemn white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan", the Florida senator told thousands of supporters in Leesburg, Virginia. But I do care about a political party that would make him its leader - and possibly a nation that would make him its president.

Last week, former KKK leader David Duke said that voting for anyone but Trump "is really treason to your heritage", although he stopped short of endorsing the Republican front-runner.

"I don't know David Duke".

The 47-year-old said his survivor group was not on a witch hunt, but on quest for truth to ensure such abuse never happened again. Abuse survivors in Rome say they want to see proof of action by the Catholic church to help victims, not just words.

Afterward, Bill Clingin, a retiree from Marshall County, Ala., said the media were berating Trump.

When CNN's Jake Tapper asked Mr Trump about the endorsement, a back and forth ensued. He wrote of an "underside" and "fringe element" of the party, concluding, "I leave the Reform Party to David Duke, Pat Buchanan and Lenora Fulani".

After the CNN interview, Trump posted a video on his Twitter account showing him addressing the Duke endorsement at a news conference Friday.

But it was Trump's statements about Duke that sparked a wave of censure with just two days to go before 11 states hold GOP primaries involving about a quarter of the party's total nominating delegate count.

He added, "You wouldn't want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about".

However, it wasn't all criticism for the Republican presidential frontrunner.

According to the release, the event will be held at the Breslin Student Events Center on March 2, with doors opening at 4 p.m. He took a hit in the SC primaries on Saturday, when Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton sailed to a commanding victory.

Sunday Trump asserted that he didn't know who Duke is and offered no acknowledgement that Duke was affiliated with the KKK.

A bit later, Joe and Mika Brzezinski said that if Trump fails today to clean up the situation, Chris Christie "cannot stay with Donald Trump's campaign". "David Duke is a notorious anti-Semite and racist and his name is synonymous with bigotry", ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said. I don't believe I ever met him. This incident, combined with Trump's comments, has made the neo-Nazi group, which the Southern Poverty Law Center estimates has just 3,000 members, a talking point on the 2016 presidential campaign.

When asked about a court case involving fraud claims against Trump University now playing out in NY, the White House hopeful said the judge presiding over the issue "has been extremely hostile to me". I have to know who the groups are.

Trump appeared to continue to steamroll toward Tuesday.

On Sunday, Mr Trump was asked by CNN whether he would disavow the comment, as demanded by the Anti Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights group. "OK, alright. I disavow, OK?" Black said said that Trump "has clearly been a benefit to us", referring to the white supremacist community.
