TOM LLAMAS: Today's confrontations coming as the Republican front-runner finds himself in the middle of a new controversy, dodging a question about whether he will reject the support of former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. 

[...]

LLAMAS: Today, Trump under fire, saying he “didn't understand the question.”

[...]

LLAMAS: But Trump clearly knows who David Duke is. Listen to what he said in 2000. 

DONALD TRUMP: David Duke just joined, a bigot, a racist, a problem. I mean, this is not exactly the people you want in your party.

LLAMAS: And Friday, Trump said this.

TRUMP: I didn't even know he endorsed me? David Duke endorsed me? Okay, alright, I disavow, okay?
