Do they have TV sets at CNN? An Internet connection? I don't work at a television network, but I saw Trump "disavow" David Duke a half-dozen times before Jake Tapper asked him to disavow Duke again last Sunday.
The question served absolutely no journalistic purpose. No new information was sought. It was just a smear, for the sole purpose of getting the words "KKK" into the same sentence as "Donald Trump."
Unsuspecting viewers who missed Trump's earlier disavowals are supposed to think, Is Trump connected with the Klan? Why else would they be asking him about David Duke?
Given that Trump did disavow Duke the day before the Tapper interview, the only explanation for his refusal to do it again is that he was ticked off by the question and decided not to play ball. (Tip for journalists: When WASPs don't want to answer impertinent questions from reporters, they often say, "I don't know," rather than the more urban "go f---yourself.")
How many times must Trump waste precious airtime "disavowing" some random person he doesn't know, has never met and never mentioned?
David Duke IS a random person: The KKK has not been an organization of any significance since the mid-'60s (outside of Southern Poverty Law Center fundraisers), and David Duke hasn't been a member of this meaningless group since 1980.
Also, David Duke has never been accused of rape. Hillary's most prominent supporter has. Will she be asked to disavow Bill Clinton?
If she doesn't think her husband raped Juanita Broaddrick, how about the sexual assaults claimed by Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Christy Zercher, Eileen Wellstone, Carolyn Moffet, Elizabeth Ward Gracen and Sandra Allen James, as well as a half-dozen other women?
Does Hillary believe any of her husband's accusers? How many sexual assault accusations must there be before she disavows him?
As far as I know, David Duke has also never supported cop-killing. Boatloads of Hillary's supporters do -- and she plays footsie with them by endorsing #BlackLivesMatter.
I will give Hillary the benefit of the doubt, and say I do not believe that she personally supports cop-killing. But why is she seeking the votes of murderous thugs? What kind of campaign is she running that attracts such people? Will she disavow them? Is she willing to state forthrightly that cops' lives matter?
I am not aware of David Duke ever inciting a mob that went on to commit murder. Al Sharpton has -- and no Democrat can run for president without kissing his ring.
More than a decade after Duke quit the KKK, Sharpton inflamed anti-Semitic mobs in Brooklyn's Crown Heights -- mobs that were four or five times larger than the entire national KKK membership -- fueling several more days of riots, during which a man, whom the crowd believed to be Jewish, was murdered.
In December 1995, Sharpton led anti-Semitic protests against a Jewish-owned clothing store in Harlem, Freddy's Fashion Mart, which ended with a protestor bursting into the store and setting a blaze that killed seven employees.
In 1989, Sharpton libeled innocent law enforcement officers in the Tawana Brawley rape hoax -- resulting in a libel judgment against him. Then in 1990, a Sharpton-led mob screamed "Whore!" at a rape victim and roughed up cameramen outside the trial of the Central Park rapists (who were guilty).
Sharpton isn't some random nut Hillary and Bernie have vaguely heard of. Two weeks ago, Bernie Sanders publicly met with Sharpton to ask for his blessing. Hillary will be making the same pilgrimage soon. My advice is, bring your checkbook.
David Duke doesn't speak at Republican national conventions; Sharpton was given a prominent speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention less than a decade after his demagoguery outside Freddy's ended in the deaths of seven innocent people (this was also a quarter century after Duke left the Klan).
Duke isn't invited to the White House to advise Republican presidents. Sharpton has officially visited Obama's White House at least 72 times.
Duke has never been given a TV show where he gets to ask questions of elected officials. Guess who was?
In fact, now that I think about it, Duke has no connection to any GOP official whatsoever!
When David Duke is invited to give a prime-time address at the Republican National Convention, maybe the media can ask Republican candidates to "disavow" him. Until then, how about asking the Democrats about their supporters?
Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis was endorsed by Willie Horton, a vicious murderer, who, after being released by Dukakis, broke into a Maryland couple's home, tortured and raped them.
Dukakis wasn't asked to disavow Willie Horton's endorsement. To the contrary! President Bush was called on to repudiate a flier connecting Dukakis to Horton -- whose release from "life in prison" was 100 percent the result of Dukakis' idiotic furlough policy. Bush's campaign chairman James A. Baker III acquiesced and disavowed the flier, in keeping with the GOP motto, "Groveling Always Works!"
Jimmy Carter was endorsed by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and Obama was endorsed by Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez -- as well as his own friend, Pentagon-bomber William Ayers. Bernie Sanders has supporters who admired the world's greatest mass murder, Josef Stalin.
But never, ever, ever will Democrats be asked to "disavow" the lunatics who support them. The ritualistic demand for "disavowals" is a game played exclusively with Republicans.
The media probably can't believe their luck, tricking Republicans into apologizing for people they have nothing to do with, while the Democrats happily accept the support of cop-killers, rapists, murderers, anti-Semitic race hustlers and domestic terrorists.
This week, Trump trashed the GOP's time-tested groveling approach, then went on to sweep Super Tuesday. Perhaps someday, the boneless wonders in the GOP will learn.
This KKK stuff is all liberal media lies against Trump
Duke didn’t even endorse Trump.
Funny that Cruz parroted the exact same media lies and lines against Trump. This Cruz is weasel and a fraud.
Cruz is a fraud. Cruz is in this race to become rich.Trump is in this to save America .Trump
is already rich .
1.If we don’t stop the invasion of socialist illegal immigrants then the USA is over in a few years.
Cruz has done nothing to stop the invasion of socialist illegals into the U.S.A. that will vote to turn the U.S.A. socialist. Cruz is a fraud.
This web page shows how all of Cruz’s flip flops on trade and immigration prove he is a fraud and is for open borders.
Only Trump will build the wall that will stop the illegals’ invasion of the usa
2.In 4 years as Senator Cruz has tried to pass no good laws that help America but only the worst laws ever TPA TPP(Trojan horse for Obama immigration agenda) and the corker bill .
Cruz voted for the Corker bill which allows Iran to build nuclear weapons.
Horse hockey.
At first I thought your screen name was sarcastic. I was wrong.
In 4 years as a senator what Law has Cruz passed that helped America or Americans? NOt a damn 1 only the 2 worst laws ever the Corker bill and TPA TPP.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/07/forget_obamarepublicans_made_the_iran_nukes_deal_possible.html
Cruz is a fake.
Most of these politicians make millions of $ per year for telling people what they want to hear but never do anything good only allow more 3rd world socialist immigrants into the USA who will take away our jobs,resources and vote to make the USA socialist.
Disavowing David Duke is simply petty racism baiting.
I despise Cruz. You say that he’s a “weasel”; you need to apologize to weasels everywhere.
Cruz, Rubio, and the GOP PTB in DC, make the Democrats look positively angelic. The cheating and lying they are engaged in is breathtaking. For Cruz to talk about “praying” while lying, and copping the cheap televangelist manner is something he’ll be answering to either at the Judgment Seat or Great White Throne of Judgment.
He cannot possibly be a Christian and not be terrified about the consequences of his overt and decidedly un-Christian actions.
A lying smear with the only 'evidence' being a link to some BS on a renowned anti conservative website. Instead of posting a hate link how about *you* tell us what *you've* accomplished, that gives you the credibility to criticize Cruz' stellar career?
Parasite.
I totally agree with what you say. Cruz is a weasel and a fraud.
Cruz is making a fool of those brainwashed morons that believe in him/it(not a human to me)
I hope Trump can save us from this evil beady eyed Cruz weasel.
It is ironic that so many conservatives go ballistic over the media manipulating the public with propaganda. Sarah Palin, who does have a journalism degree, expresses how angry conservatives get with the media when she says,
“The “Lamestream media asks GOP personal, spiritual ‘gotchas’ that they’d NEVER ask Hillary [Clinton], or they’d feed the question to her and/or liberal cohorts before they asked it on-air (we know how these things work, lapdog media... the public’s on to you).”
What is ironic is we have major players and their supporters in the Republican Party eating up Lame Stream Media propaganda about allegations that Trump accepts the KKK. These fools are acting like gullible yahoos who read those check-out stand tabloids and believe every word of them. Instead of defending Trump for such outrageous allegations, they do everything they can to make the public believe it too. What are they going to do when some media hack feeds them the story that Trump met with aliens on an extraterrestrial Mother Ship? Embarrass themselves?
You are a liar and a weasel just like Ted Cruz is a liar , weasel and a fraud.
Ted Cruz wrote an article full of lies trying to fool everyone into giving up the Senate’s power to Obama to have Trade Promotion authority to basically give Obama dictatorial powers to make trade deals and treaties.here a few links out of thousands that prove this.
That’s just one of the 13 points i made against this villain weasel cruz

Rubio in a nutshell.
Blah blah blah. Stop spamming threads with your cut n paste lies.
Sorry, but I disagree with you lead sentence.
That KKK stuff came directly from the GOPe, filtered through the media arm of the Democrat party.
Remember the media LUVS the GOPe until the convention. After the nominee is set, they revert back to what they really are.
Yup, Rubio is a nut...Nutshells house nuts. Some are really bitter nuts...Rubio to a tee!
Go TRUMP!!!
And a big hurray for Ann!
It should also be mentioned that David Duke doesn’t even live in the United States, and hasn’t for about 10-15 years.
This was one of Coulter’s best. But, really, what is absolutely astounding is that through the many, many years of watching politics we have all seen that there are no politicians on the right, excepting Trump, who can think like this and articulate a position like this, in clear and stark terms that everyone can understand and that shuts down the bullcrap the leftists spew relentlessly; certainly not Cruz or Rubio. It’s because Trump has only been a “politician” for about seven months. Trump 2016!
Trump won less than 20 more delegates than Cruz Tuesday. As far as Trump, if he had denied so many times why didn’t he just do it again? He has left video to be used against him to fire up the dem base.
David Duke claims he never endorsed Trump so where did the endorsement come from? It was a pure media fabrication to stir up the blacks and damage Trump before Super Tuesday.
Pray America wakes
You can bet there will be numerous KKK questions tonight.
