Top 5 Other Ridiculous Statements That Didn’t Sink Donald Trump

3. Doesn’t Know About White Supremacists or David Duke

To add to the growing sentiment that Trump was projecting hateful and divisive rhetoric, he just happened to rack up the endorsement of one David Duke. Duke, a former leader of the KKK, publicly embraced Trump and his message. In an interview, he responded to a question on Duke’s endorsement:

Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke, okay? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don’t know.

Brushing off the endorsement of a noted white-supremacist would be a game changer for most candidates. For the Donald, however, the event carried no notable consequences.
