Trump Repudiates David Duke’s Senate Candidacy

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump ‘rebuked’ the Senate candidacy of former Ku Klux Klan member David Duke during an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press”
on Sunday.

“David Duke announced his Senate candidacy claiming your agenda for his own, or essentially saying, ‘Glad that you spoke out,’” NBC's Chuck Todd said.

“Are you ready, before you ask the question?” Trump asked.

“Newt Gingrich said, ‘Every Republican should repudiate this guy no matter what it takes--’” Todd said.

“I did, and I do. Are you ready? I want—” Trump said.

“Would you support a Democrat over David Duke if that was what was necessary to defeat him?” Todd asked.

“I guess, depending on who the Democrat, but the answer would be yes. Look, the answer is, as quick as you can say it. In fact, I went to answer you before you—” Trump responded. “Because last time with another person in your position, I did it very quickly, and they said, ‘He didn't do it fast enough.’ Rebuked. Is that okay? Rebuked, done.”
