    What about world news? Seems to line up with those outlets for the most part. Is the whole world in on the conspiracy?

    Wait so you just admitted that Trump disavowed Duke in 2000. So why are you saying he didn't disavow when you clearly posted that he did in 2000.

    Worldnews doesn't like Trump's nationalism. I'm shocked.

    You're upset because my president condemned the alt-left and you're probably a member of it.

    In the last 40 years, there has never been a better time to be a white nationalist. They have someone in the White House who they believe in and gives them the energy to proudly come out of the woodwork and fight for what they believe in.

    This is the United States of America in 2018 with Donald Trump as president. Take a moment and just think about it.

    if you feel that what Trump did to say the "alt-left" - that boogeyman created by folks like you - is just as bad as neonazis and the murder of a woman - then you are a hopelessly lost soul. I hope some day you wake up from this.

    I never said that Trump didn't disavow Duke. I'm asking you why he lied in 2106 and say that he hadn't heard of David Duke. Are you going to answer the question or not?

    I think you have a bizarre and twisted view of the Fourth Estate, which was seen as so important to the founders of this country that they specifically protected it in the constitution. I think you are so young and/or uneducated that you are easily manipulated by people like trump, who does not have your interests in mind. He only cares about himself and his family. With all due respect. You need to get yourself educated. Go to school and learn something. Get a better education than Mr. trump has. It shouldn't be difficult.

    Maybe he forgot who he was. David Duke is not a household name and I could imagine someone after 16 years would forget another person's name.

    So you know for a fact that he remembered who Duke was? Can you read people's minds?

    Duke isn't simply "another person." trump knows exactly who David Duke is. Quit fooling yourself.

    Trump just thinks there were good folks at the white nationalists rally because he's never seen their faces at klan events ;)

    The thread should be titled Trump and other racists.

    +++++++++++++
    Consider the first time the president’s name appeared on the front page of the New York Times, more than 40 years ago. “Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City,” read the headline of the A1 piece on Oct. 16, 1973, which pointed out how Richard Nixon’s Department of Justice had sued the Trump family’s real estate company in federal court over alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act.

    “The government contended that Trump Management had refused to rent or negotiate rentals ‘because of race and color,’” the Times revealed.

    Trump has spend more time and energy promoting the Birther movement, than he has disavowing the KKK and White Supremacists.

    Posts like this are why this conversation is a waste of time. Really? He disavows racists and racism on national television but people who are obviously morons because they are obviously racist still hail him means that he really is racist?

    Ridiculous

    He absolutely is a household name. If you asked 100 people over the age of 35 to name a KKK member, David Duke would be the overwhelmingly most common answer.
