Is this a serious issue or much ado about nothing? I think that if the KKK has endorsed Donald Trump,it would make sense for him to gracefully or forcefully decline to accept it.
I would expect a similar response if the New Black Panthers endorse somebody.
"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.
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, saying, “As I stated at the press conference on Friday regarding David Duke -- I disavow.”

I don't understand why him being endorsed by the KKK is such an issue. Unless he specifically went to them looking for their endorsement who cares? Members of the KKK, despicable as they are, have every right to vote as anyone else. They're bound to make public who they support. Would we be arguing if they said they supported Rubio or Cruz, or what about Sanders or Clinton? The only one I would at all question would be if they voiced support for Dr. Carson because of obvious reasons. Otherwise I don't see how the KKK or a particular member voicing support for a candidate has any impact on how we should view said candidate.

I assume everyone saw the BLM idiots dressed up trying to pretend to be KKK supporting Trump last week? Hint: If you are a BLACK guy, trying to pretend you are KKK, step #1 make sure your BLACK hands are not visible in the pictures you post online. LMAO....
