Watch Colbert Slam Trump for Failing to Renounce David Duke, KKK

But Trump had to add a wrinkle. I mean, I don't know what group you're talking about.

"He talked about groups of people and I don't like to disavow groups if I don't know who they are", Trump told the Morning Joe program.

"How many times do I have to continue to disavow people?" How do we know this?

"He's attaching himself to Trump so he can make himself relevant, because he is not relevant", said Dubos. In an interview with CNN over the weekend, Trump had skirted the issue, saying that he didn't know about Duke and white supremacy.

Monday night, David Duke told WWL-TV over the phone there is a national media bias against Trump. "I don't know anything about him", Trump said of Duke at the time, noting "I don't need his endorsement".

"I didn't even know if he was still around", said one man we spoke with. "Would you just say, unequivocally, that you condemn them and you don't want their support?" And frankly, he talked about groups.

I have to look at the group. I would have to look. "I could hardly hear what he's saying". And I don't mind disavowing anybody and I disavowed David Duke.

This is a controversy that does Donald Trump no good but reminds us of the ways that Duke can seize the spotlight, long after his political relevance was thought to be over.

"The leading Republican presidential candidate's refusal to disavow the KKK was a breathtaking low-point for our country", House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.

Stephen Colbert indicated he believes Donald Trump just failed the easiest test in American politics.

"I want to answer your question!" "I don't think I've ever met him".

Jake Tapper, CNN host, had quite an interesting little chat with Donald Trump on Sunday, which is available to watch here.

"I'm going to have more votes than anybody else".

"Of course I am, of course I am". There's nobody that's done so much for equality as I can.

Trump also later tweeted his earlier disavowal of David Duke. "How are we going to grow our party with a nominee that refuses to condemn the Ku Klux Klan?".

Trump's answer to CNN was somewhat in contrast to his stance in 2000, the year Trump declined a presidential bid for the Reform Party. However, given that Trump is leading the race for the Republican nomination, Duke has changed his position.
