“We can not be a party that nominates someone who refuses to condemn white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan”, Rubio said Sunday. “I don’t know anything about what you’re talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists”.

Trump later explained he didn’t hear the question because of a “bad earpiece”.
“I was very disappointed that he did not disavow what appears to be support from David Duke and the Klan”, Clinton said.
On Sadie Hawkins Day, a pseudo-Leap Year holiday that originated in Al Capp’s classic hillbilly comic strip “Li’l Abner”, (1934 to 1978), Trump finally was quoted in several news articles disavowing Duke’s support. Trump pointed out the earpiece was provided by CNN, before the interview.
GOP presidential primary front-runner Donald Trump used an interview on “The Savage Nation” radio show on Tuesday to again disavow the KKK. Well how about judging people by who they really are? They said: ‘Oh, we never looked at your Twitter account.
“We are the party of Lincoln”.
The business mogul was endorsed by the former Klan leader on Thursday. “It’s like Mitt Romney’s “47 percent” moment, it’s one of those”.
“A disqualifying & disgusting response by @realDonaldTrump to the KKK. His coddling of repugnant bigotry is not in the character of America”, Romney tweeted.
“I disavowed them every time I speak to somebody, virtually, and, you know, they just keep it going”, Trump told George Stephanopoulos in a phone interview. I know it from your employees.
Trump said last week that as president, he would like to change libel laws to make it easier to sue media outlets. “All I know is that white supremacist groups have no place in our society and clearly not in the Republican Party”.
“It would be very hard to support Donald Trump”, said Sen.
Senator Flake, who has criticized Trump’s past rhetoric, says while he’s “not willing to concede” that Trump will be the nominee, he is not sure if Congressional Republicans can do anything to stop him. I don’t believe I’ve ever met him.
“I don’t remember saying anything like that to all of you”, McConnell told reporters.
Of course, this same condemnation should apply for any group that preaches and acts on intolerance and hate. He has since insulted Trump’s appearance and suggested he urinated in his trousers during the debate.
Donald Trump is a bullying bigot who is attracting voters not despite of what he stands for, but because of what he stands for. “I taught my two little ones you don’t lie and make things up…”
To avoid this, he said, the party should consolidate around an opponent to Trump instead of diffusing the opposition among so many candidates. Do they love him back? Last year, Boing Boing uncovered a 1927 New York Times article that reported the arrest of one Fred C. Trump during a “battle” in which “1,000 Klansmen and 100 policemen staged a free-for-all” in Queens, New York.
“When I did it, it was a catastrophe”.
“He’s not some real estate developer from across the country you’re doing a deal with”, Rubio said.

And who is Donald Trump? “They must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry”. The likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, will have that albatross around its neck.
