Donald Trump Refuses To Distance Himself From Former KKK Leader David Duke

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump saw his racist comments of several months now come home to roost this week as former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke gave the Trumpster a full-throated endorsement.

When asked about the endorsement, however, Trump refused to condemn Duke or the KKK.

Via Talking Points Memo:

CNN “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper asked Trump if he would “unequivocally condemn David Duke and say you don’t want his support.”

Trump dodged the question.

“I don’t know anything about David Duke,” he said. “I don’t know what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacist. I don’t know. I don’t know, did he endorse me, or what’s going on? Because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists. And so you’re asking me a question that I’m supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about.”

Tapper pushed back. Trump suggested Tapper send him a list of “the groups” and he could research them. At which point, Trump said he would “disavow if I thought there was something wrong.”

“The Ku Klux Klan?” Tapper asked.

“It would be very unfair,” Trump continued talking over Tapper. “So give me a list of the groups and I’ll let you know.”

“I’m just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here,” Tapper said.

“Honestly, I don’t know David Duke,” Trump said. “I don’t believe I’ve ever met him, I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet him, and I just don’t know anything about him.”

While today Trump said he didn’t know anything about Duke or the KKK, on Friday he was asked about the endorsement and a the time he said he “disavows” the support.

Immediately after polls closed in South Carolina, NBC projected former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will win the South Carolina Democratic Primary.

The final tally was a crushing win with Clinton getting 73% of the vote to Sanders’ 26%.

This brings Hillary’s total to winning three of the first four Democratic contests.

She currently leads in 10 of the 11 states holding contests on the upcoming Super Tuesday.

Hillary gave a great victory speech, especially these lines:

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

"We don't need to make America great again. America has never stopped being great," Hillary Clinton delivers victory speech after #SCPrimary win: http://on.msnbc.com/1VKZ9P4Posted by MSNBC on Saturday, February 27, 2016

That Time When Hillary Clinton Stopped The Democratic Convention To Nominate Barack Obama As Dem Nominee

At the 2008 National Democratic Convention, then Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York called for a stop in the roll call of states, asking that in the spirit of party unity the convention move directly to electing her former opponent Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee.

Classy move.

I hope to see similar class at this year’s convention.

Former President Of Mexico Compares Donald Trump To Hitler

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox doubled down on his criticism of Republican front-runner Donald Trump, this time saying the Trumpster reminds him of Adolf Hitler.

From CNN:

“Today, he’s going to take that nation (U.S.) back to the old days of conflict, war and everything. I mean, he reminds me of Hitler. That’s the way he started speaking,” Fox told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in a phone interview on “Anderson Cooper 360.”

“He has offended Mexico, Mexicans, (and) immigrants. He has offended the Pope. He has offended the Chinese. He’s offended everybody.”

Fox’s comments come one day after he delivered a scathing response on Trump’s plan to make Mexico pay for a wall between the Mexico-U.S. border.

“I’m not going to pay for that f***ing wall,” Fox said in an interview with Fusion’s Jorge Ramos.

Fox isn’t the first to compare The Donald to Hitler. Several pundits across political media point to Trump’s divisive rhetoric and note what they say are similarities to the methods Hitler used during his rise to power in Germany.

Marco Rubio: “Donald Trump Is A Con Artist”

I personally agree with Sen. Marco Rubio.

But, given how these things play out, how does Rubio u-turn and support Trump in a general election after this? Because that is what will be expected of him.

Share your thoughts in the comments. I’m curious what folks think…

Jurors See Video Confession Of 2013 Greenwich Village Hate Crime

Jurors currently deliberating the murder of a gay man in Greenwich Village in May 2013 were shown a cellphone video Thursday of homophobic killer Elliot Morales confessing to his crime after being taken into custody.

Via New York Post:

“I f–king shot him dead!” Morales shouts, cackling, as several NYPD officers restrain him face-first on the pavement.

“Diagnosis dead, doctor!” he continues, laughing to the police. “They don’t teach you that in the academy, right?”

Morales then tries to lick the pavement and lifts his head as if he’s about to slam it into the concrete, but a cop stops him.

Morales, 36, is representing himself at his murder trial in Manhattan Supreme Court for the hate-crime slaying of stranger Mark Carson in Greenwich Village on May 18, 2013.

The officer said that when he first arrived on the scene at Third Street near MacDougal Street, Morales told him, “I shot him dead. He deserved it. He was acting tough in front of his bitch.”

Morales, charged with second degree murder as a hate crime, faces life in prison if convicted. He asked for, and received, permission to represent himself in the court case.
