David Duke responds to his involvement in the GOP presidential race

NEW YORK (AP) – MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, who lately has become a symbol of the media’s complicated relationship with Donald Trump, said Monday that the Republican’s remarks on David Duke are “disqualifying” and compel an apology. “Is he really so ignorant of Southern voters that he thinks this is the way to their heart, to go neutral, to play Switzerland when you’re talking about the Klan!?”

Bentley also criticized Trump for failing to disavow support from Duke during a televised interview on Sunday, a few hours before a campaign appearance in Huntsville. “And I disavowed him before at a major news conference”. “I will do research on them and certainly I would disavow if I thought there was something wrong”.

“This is a con man who is playing another con”, said Dubo.

“We saw and looked at true hate in the eyes previous year”, Haley said, raising her voice.

As House speaker, Ryan will preside over the GOP convention in July.

Billionaire Donald Trump has been heavily criticised for refusing to repudiate an endorsement from racist group the Ku Klux Klan.

“Mitt Romney, who totally blew an election that should have been won and whose tax returns made him look like a fool, is now playing tough guy”, Trump fired back in a tweet last week.

David Duke on Monday reiterated his support for the presidential campaign of real estate developer Donald Trump. “So I don’t know”.

“I don’t know what’s in his head”, the OH governor told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day”.

Even Trump’s own endorser, Alabama Sen.

Former South Carolina Ports Authority chairman Bill Stern supports Trump. “In fact, I haven’t formally endorsed him”. Because I know nothing about David Duke. “But I will say this, he needs to make that clear”. So, yeah… not a group you want to be associated with, especially if you’re running for President of the United States.

The crowd hooted and Trump briefly quieted them. But on Sunday, Donald Trump swatted away the easy answers and instead feigned ignorance about the KKK and its most infamous Grand Wizard. “Me, I get nothing”. “You can’t trust them”.

This is far from the first time that Romney and Trump have clashed.

“I am an accountant: I can tell you there is no audit that precludes you from showing your tax returns. We believe in the principles that built this country”, he said, adding that he would continue working on an agenda for the eventual nominee and speak out nationally about Republicans policies and contrast them with Democratic proposals.

“I recently gave some advice to Hillary Clinton after she couldn’t give a straight answer about whether she’d ever lied to the American people”.

“There aren’t enough judges in the world to hear all those cases”. “You said there’s some potential there”.
