Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) on Monday said that white nationalist David Duke’s support of Donald Trump does not make the GOP presidential front-runner racist...
Mike Huckabee's remarks follow his daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders becoming a senior adviser for the Trump campaign last week.
Trump dodged questions about Duke’s support during an uncomfortable interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper last Sunday. The outspoken billionaire has repeatedly denied he appreciates Duke’s support in the GOP presidential primary.
Duke urged listeners on his radio show to back Trump last week, adding that supporting Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) instead constitutes "treason to your heritage."

Why would he? Trump’s racism was invented yesterday by the drive-bys.
“Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) on Monday said that white nationalist David Duke’s support of Donald Trump does not make the GOP presidential front-runner racist...”
This is true.
Trump isn’t my #1 but this kind of thing is just another attempt by the press to change the subject and label all of us as racists. It is what they always do.
Trump may have fumbled a bit but in the end they are always going to make this their favorite subject of conversation. If its Cruz or Rubio they will find some reason to say that their supporters are also racists (and, of course, that Rubio and Cruz aren’t authentic Hispanics).
Its what they Noise Machine does. They change the subject to what they want to talk about, and policy discussions are replaced by mudslinging. Granted, Trump does the same thing, but I don’t buy it when he does it and I don’t buy it when they do it to him.
Huckabee endorsement coming soon.
:) Accompanied by a job application.
I’m pretty sure Trump disagrees with Obama’s economic policies. And Trump doesn’t want ILLEGAL immigrants. Under the new definition of racism that makes Trump a racist.
The left has destroyed the word. It used to be that I could say “David Duke is a racist” to someone who’s never heard of David Duke, and they’d have some idea what I mean. Not any more.
I’m a huge opponent of Trump. I think his presidency will be a disaster. I think his supporters are being taken for a ride and he knows it and they don’t...yet.
Now to end my obligatory dig.
But these racism charges have been so overused that I don’t know what a racist is anymore
Trump is not my number one either, though I will admit I am getting closer to having him number one, but this crap about Duke is beneath even the media, hell it is on par with the DU camp
Hope its in time to help Trump win Arkansas.
Ponder this. What about what the puppetmasters are doing, every day, to keep Trump out of the presidency? It's what they do to US citizens, every day, to increase their wealth and power at our expense.
Isn't that a real good reason to support Trump?
This smear is on par with DU because the intention is to throw the election to Hillary should Trump get the nomination.
So you prefer Hillary to Trump. Interesting.

Whatever else you may say about the man...he most definitely IS NOT RACIST.
The Dems and progressive left are going to come up sucking air on that charge.
Trump disavowed Duke’s endorsement at the press conference with Christie the other day. This is really getting into patheticville. LOL!
I’d have been happier if Ted had defended Trump on this. I know, Trump is getting under his skin, but it would have been a classier move.
Anti-Trump clowns so desperate they’re trying to paint him as a racist because of... what, exactly? He didn’t disavow a racist group fast enough for their liking?
Pound sand, losers.
Somebody please go interview Charles Manson and ask HIM how he likes Hillary and or Bernie. Then let THEM explain their ties to the Manson murders in 1969...
How ridiculous.
And the GOPe. Once again, this will provide even more support for Trump. People are sick of a dishonest media shaping PC groupthink.
