if he disavows the comment, he loses credibility in the eyes of his racist base. If he does nothing, he tacitly confirms his inherit racism.

Your move, President Carnival J Barker.

and it's not getting enough media play either. If trumpie is not a racist, where is his specific condemnation of Duke's comment? Why is he not coming out forcefully and saying he does not share Duke's views and wants to emphatically distance himself from Duke? Should be the easiest thing he has had to do since becoming president. Yet we hear nothing from him on the subject.

who put him in the White House. The forces of hate.

Then again, David Duke probably reminds that horrible thing of his dear old dad.
