Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday found himself at the center of attacks about a possible connection to the Ku Klux Klan and being accused of not outright rejecting support from the group or ex-leader David Duke.
ADVERTISEMENT Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, of Cuban descent, suggested on “Fox News Sunday” that a hate group supporting the front-running Trump was making recorded calls – known as “robo-calls” -- telling potential voters not to pick a Cuban candidate.
And Trump was repeatedly asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” about retired KKK grand wizard David Duke last week giving his support to the Trump campaign.
"Just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke, OK?" Trump responded. "I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. Did he endorse me, or what's going on?”
Trump was asked the question Friday on the campaign trail in Fort Worth, Texas. He said he was unaware about a Duke endorsement.
“I didn't even know,” Trump told a reporter. "I disavow it. OK?”
He tweeted a similar response after the CNN appearance,

Really stupid move politically. Run as a GOP candidate and sound like every screaming hysteric Leftist. Yeah, that is going to get you votes.
Rubio Cruz tag team liars
Good to know that Cruz & Rubio are members of the Black Lives movement. Prove me wrong.
“OOH! A shiny object!”
This sort of idiocy from Rubio I can understand...
Trump is my #2 choice, but this Duke Endorsement is part of the establishment take down of Trump.
It is gonna fail too like all their other take downs of Trump, this just proves the establishment is desperate.
Trump is my number two as well, but if Ted is going around doing and saying this then it will really piss me off to no end.
My pleasure. I've heard my father say the same thing 10 times in 48 hours. Media keeps wanting a different answer. https://t.co/dNsuqveQys— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) February 28, 2016
@DonaldJTrumpJr Thanks for having Guts to publicly reject KKK & White Supremacist Support! Now what about @realDonaldTrump Rejecting Them??— san (@sanosbo1) February 28, 2016
Cruz/Rubio using the race card?
Attempt to brand Republican as racist will fail with Trump
Trump will fight back against this narrative
Cruz keeps this up, and Trump may well beat him in Texas. Can you say backlash?
Trump sad he’s not familiar with the KKK. If not then he doesn’t know enough to be President.
Must be those pills Marco gave me.
Cruz go back and work on fast tracking TPP with Paul Ryan
They are members of the globalist movement. That’s pretty shameful.
If he didn’t know who DD is, which I find remarkable, all he had to do was ask and then give the obligatory, I absolutely do not want or need his endorsement. But as usual, Trump has to be something to everybody and didn’t want to burn any bridges.
The Mafia now KKK who are these guys? I guess neither has anything to run on
A couple of Black Panthers were ejected from a Trump Rally today. Trump will tie Hilliarys connection to them and the BLM cop killers like a cinder block once he finishes of Fancy Boots and the televangelist.
Trump is resonating with All Americans because of this B*ll sh*t we have All quite had enogh of.
Go Trump
What’s the big deal here? Trump disavowed Duke’s endorsement. Sounds like the media is playing to Rubio and Cruz.
Cruz and his buddy Beck are two lowlife’s. Cruz gets fitted by Beck with a tinfoil hat, and spews the same kind of crappola that Beck does. Beck follows the leftist handbook, and calls anyone he disagrees with a “racist” and a “Nazi”, now he’s got Cruz doing the same thing. Needless to say, Little Marco follows along, another piece of crap.
WHO CARES?!
Nobody has taken the KKK seriously in forty years. What "Klan" that exists today doesn't even have any connection to the Klan of Fifties and Sixties much less the Klan of the Reconstruction. The only reason we hear of the Klan anymore these days is when Morris Dees and the rest of those race-baiting communists at Southern Poverty Law Center need a "cause" to raise money against.
Not a Trump person here, but in his defense I must remark: this is worse than ridiculous. And it is evidence of a coordinated MSM agenda aimed at him.
