TOW 19- Donald Trump stumbles on David Duke, KKK

For my TOW I read the article, "Donald Trump stumbles on David Duke, KKK". This article discusses a CNN interview with Donald Trump, where Trump refuses to disavow the KKK and one of its members, David Duke. When asked, Trump claimed, "I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So I don't know. I don't know-did he endorse me, or what's going on? Because I know nothing about David Duke; I know nothing about white supremacists". Even though he claimed to 'know nothing', he actually did, as in 2000 he briefly supported the Reform Party, that David Duke was a part of. Many political candidates responded angrily to Trumps comments. Rubio said, "We cannot be the party tat nominates someone who refuses to condemn white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan...not only is that wrong, it makes him unelectable..don't tell me he doesn't know what the Klu Klux Klan is. This is serious". Donald Trump is a terrible person who should not be even considered as a presidential candidate, much less leading the Republican polls, but he is. Why? Because we put him there. Presidential candidates don't vote themselves president, we do. The public is who votes for these candidates, and this is who we have chose to represent us. A man, who wants to remove 11 million people from their homes and send them to Mexico, separating families because their children are consider citizens and they aren't. A person who wants to ban Muslims from entering our country, because he claims that they are an inherently angry people and that they are terrorists. He isn't even able to denounce the KKK and its members, a group which supports white supremacy, and murders and terrorizes African Americans, because they feel they are 'not equal'. The United States should be ashamed that we are supporting a person with these ideas to become president, a position that is supposed to represent America. Our society is so obsessed with entertainment, that we are refusing to see what people like Donald Trump really stand for. We have even let entertainment control our presidential campaign, so much so that we might actually let someone like Donald Trump become president. With the ideals of equality and proper morals that America is so proud of, Donald Trump shouldn't even be a consideration. We can't have a president that won't even properly denounce the KKK, or even admit to knowledge of them. America needs to wake up, and fast, or we will see Donald Trump become president, and witness the casualties from it.
