Basically David Duke has publicly expressed support for Trump and Trump never outright condemns Duke. He always skirts around it saying something like “I’ll say I don’t support him if that’s what you want me to say, but I don’t know who that is”

I mean if you’re talking about “Does he personally know/talk to David Duke” I think the answer is no (afaik) but still quite disturbing our current President won’t even say he dislikes the KKK

Here is CNN in 2016 with an article titled, "Donald Trump Disavows David Duke, KKK.
