Disavows david duke, the white supremacist. He said as i state on friday regarding david duke i disavow and he posted a clip thoof press conference. Mr. Trump, how do you feel about the endorsement from david duke . I didnt know he endorsed me. David duke endorsed me . I disavow, okay. This on the heels of his interview this morning with jake tappers state of the union where donald trump dodged questions about dukes support. I dont know anything about david duke. I dont know anything about what you are talking about with White Supremacy or supremacists. I dont know. Did he endorse me or whats going on . You know, i know nothing about david duke or white supremacists. So you are asking me a question im supposed to be talking about people that i know nothing about. The question from the Antidefamation League is even if you dont know about their endorsement, there are groups and individuals endorsing you. Would you say you condemn them and dont want their support . I have to look at the group. I dont know what group you are talking about. You wouldnt want me to condemn a group i know nothing about. If you would send me a list of the groups, i will do research on them and disavow if i thought there was something wrong. The ku klux klan. There maybe groups in there that are fine and it would be unfair. Give me a list and i will let you know. Im talking about david duke and the ku klux klan. I dont know david duke. I have never met him and dont know anything about him. Bring in chris who is following the Trump Campaign from alabama. What more is being said beyond this tweet . I will tell you, what is interesting about the interview with jake tapper he said he doesnt know david duke. That may be true. Going back 16 years in 2000 when donald trump decided not to run for the reform party nomination, he said in part the reform party now includes a klansman, mr. Duke. This is not company i wish to keep. Clearly donald trump did know about david duke, knew about his affiliation with the ku klux klan. It is important to remind our viewers that david duke was a former grand wizard of the White Supremacist Group and on friday we heard he answered a question similar to jake tappers this morning saying david duke endorsed me, okay, all right. I disavow. After his interview on cnns state of the union this morning, trump did tweet moments ago saying as i stated on friday, regarding david duke i disavow. Whats interesting is the tweet was after his republican opponents start aed to hit him for refusing to disavow on cnn. Ted cruz tweeting earlier saying really sad. Donald trump you are better than this. We should uaw agree racism is wrong. Kkk is abhorrent and marco rubio weighing in saying there is no way the Republican Party should nominate for president someone who refuses to repudiate the White Supremacist Group and also worth pointing 0 out the gop spokesman saying, are you kidding, of course the gop has and does denounce these groups and people. We will see in an hour or so when donald trump comes to the stage at a rally here in madison, al, whether he talks about this more. Thank you so much. We will check back with you. Joining me is the director of the center for politics at the university of virginia and brian morgan stern. Good too to both of you. Let me begin with you, how do you explain this . Especially the sequence of events. First he disavows on friday and in the interview today he tries to distance himself from a decision of disavowing and even saying he didnt know enough about the group, kkk or david duke. With the latest tweet saying, i made myself clear on friday. I disavow. Whats behind this . It is almost inexplicable. It would be funny if it werent so serious. David duke is one of the most odious figures in all of american history. The grand wizard of the kkk and a neonazi. The Republican Party did, in fact, condemn duke when he ran for governor of louisiana in 1991. As far as trump goes, its impossible he doesnt know who david duke was. Your correspondent chris cited an example from 2000 and a few days ago he commented on dukes apparent endorsement of trump. My suggestion to mr. Trump is, this is an answer to a question you really ought to memorize. Memorize it and use it frequently. What did donald trump stand to gain by this back and forth and this attempt at clarity or, you know, not jumping in to the fray of being more specific about his point of view for a moment . You hit the nail on the head. Why would he do this . To steal headlines from his opponents. You dont disavow a guy on friday and pretend not to know him on sunday. And then disavow him again. If you are not trying to steal headlines the reason hes had a tough few days. Rubio has been calling him a con artist but this is another con. This is what he he does. He he questions somebodys birth certificate or somebodys eligibility. Now he will pull this stunt. This is what he does. Pull the wool over peoples eyes and the press is playin in to it. You are calling it a stunt. Exact. I to get attention. He is not dumb enough to be able to say i dont know who david duke is. Give mae break. He is stealing the cycle back from his opponents who are pummelling him. How do you see it, larry . Does that make sense . It could be a stunt. Hes appearing now in alabama. Not that most people in alabama would have anything to do with david duke, but i think it is pretty clear that trump sends subliminal messages to various groups that may not be acceptable publicly in american politics, but he will be happy to accept their votes. Do you see this as Donald Trumps way of saying i want everyones support by not classifying any vote or particular group as unappetizing. Brian . I dont think so. He came out and said i disavow. It was. That became an after thought today. That is after the equivocation it would be a headline. He gets to plead ignorance and stupidity and come out and reclaim the mantle of morality like an hour later. Its a stunt to get attention. We are buying in to it. It is so frustrating. Larry, lets talk about donald trump. He talked today about how some of the gop are taking to social media to say they wont support him if he wins. Heres what he said to jake tapper on state of the union this morning. I signed a pledge. The pledge is a twoway street. If it is not that way they have a problem with me. We have a tremendous amount of people. Im not representing myself. Im representing a lot of anger out. There were not angry people but angry at the way the country is run and a lot of them are angry at the way the Republican Party is run, jake. I want to ask you about that. The Republican Party is not being run properly. I want to ask you about that. Republicans in washington, d. C. Are starting to tell republican senators that they dont have to go to the convention if they are the nominee. They should think of running against you if you are the nominee. That combined with marco rubio doing the never trump hashtag. Do you think republicans are violating the pledge . Totally. If they want to play the game i can play it better than they k. And i have more people than they do. Doing that is a total violation of the pledge, yes. How do you see this possible hypocrisy of the pledge . I think republicans are headed for a split whether trump is the nominee or not. This has gone so deep for so long. If trump is the nominee, theres no way on gods green earth that many rank and file republicans can vote for him or go to the convention or do the things they normally document if hes not the nominee, a lot of the voters will be so angry they will sit out the election. The Republican Party has a big, fat problem. Already. Brian, real quick. I was going to say, talk about inducement of the breach, there are a few given assumptions we shoild take advantage of the candidate, fascist, no, communist, no, white supremacist, no. These are simple ones. He is goating the party in to controversy and what he does best. Thank you so much, gentlemen. Appreciate it. Always good to see you. Gist two days away from super tuesday, we will have complete coverage all day here on cnn. Up next, marco rubio just responding to trumps interview saying mr. Trump knows who david duke is and he did not stop there. Thats coming up next. Ahead, Hillary Clinton with a big win in South Carolina. Could this be an indicator of what to expect on super tuesday .

Senator rubio weighed in on Donald Trumps interview with jake tapper today and his refusal to denounce White Supremacist Groups. He had an interview on cnn. He was asked repeatedly on cnn to repudiate david duke, who is a wellknown white supremacist racist and he said he doesnt know who david duke is. But the fact is, in the early 90s or some point, ten, 15 years ago when donald trump was thinking of running for president in the reform party, one of the reasons why he said he wasnt going to run is because david duke was part of the reform party. So he knows exactly who david duke is. He was asked this morning two times, will you repudiate and condemn the ku klux klan and he refused to do that, as well. We cannot be a party that nominates someone who refuses to condemn white sup priss and the ku klux klan. We cannot be a party who does that. Jason, what more was said . More specifically what about marco rubio supporters, wa are they saying about everything thats unfolded . I can tell you in terms of his supporters, they are telling us they are really whenever he goes after donald trump its something they support. They are supporting this new strategy of going after him and going after him hard, whether it be on the issue of david duke, the issue of being a con man. Im sure today we will hear more when rubio takes the stage out here. Him criticizing donald trump about this nonendorsement or endorseme endorsement, if you will, of david duke. We will hear more about the con man, which is what rubio is pushing. The reason he is doing this, he says im not a man or candidate who wanted to get to this point. I didnt want to get to the point of personal attacks but he said im the under dog here and america and American Voters are not picking up, in his words on who this man donald trump really is, calling him a con man, not just when it comes to his business practices, the allegations about Trump University but the allegation of him not being a conservative. Keeping up the pressure on trump whether it be terms of releasing his taxes, on the issue of david duke or Trump University. What you can expect today is more of the same. Fredricka. It is the language of the con man or hes not a true conservative what traction is that getting among rubio supporters . It is getting traction among supporters simply because they realize going in to super tuesday they realize their man is the underdog. If you look at polling hes not leading in any of the super tuesday states. When pressed on with super tuesday states he could win he dodged the issue. He said we will pick up delegates on super tuesday and predicted he would win florida. His supporters know Going Forward he has to place better than second or third. He has to start to win states if hes going to have a shot at the nomination. Would they like to see policy issues discussed, yes. For now going after trump is something they support. Jason carroll in mid lothian, virginia, thank you so much. Marco rubio will be appearing there. Coming up, Hillary Clinton with a big win in South Carolina. Could this be an indicator of what to expect on super tuesday . Plus, bill clinton on the trail in a Heated Exchange with a protester over benghazi. We will have that for you after this.

Princess cruises. Come back new. Welcome back. Hillary clinton is set to speak at any moment now from nashville, tennessee. Take a look at the live shot of the crowd gathering to hear what she has to say after the huge, sweeping win in South Carolina yesterday. Clinton cruised to an easy victory in the South Carolina primary creaming the vermont senator with 74 of the vote. Exit poll shows it was africanAmerican Voters who propelled her to victory. She got 84 of the black vote in zb zk compared to 16 for sanders. In her victory speech, she thanked voters and sanders and made it clear she was ready to expand her campaign. We have now gone through four early states. I want to congratulate senator sanders on running a great race and tomorrow this Campaign Goes national. That National Campaign begins today in nashville, tennessee. Live shots right there whenever Hillary Clinton does emerge. Hillary clinton will hold a rally any moment. We will go there thrive talk about the race with the political panel. Larry sabato from the university of politics in virginia and a Hillary Clinton supporter. Her firm works for a pro Clinton Super pac. You are also a super delegate. I am. Got that prestige, too. Hillary clinton has a lot of momentum coming off the big win in South Carolina and going in to super tuesday. She said im not taking any of it for granted. She still has to earn every vote. What does that mean in your view . How does she try to convince people that she should be the one that gets the job . Thats what she has to do. Thats what she has to say. The truth is, after a tough start in february, the Clinton Campaign has gotten its groove. It is not just a big win in South Carolina. It is what is coming tuesday. While Bernie Sanders may win a couple of contests, certainly vermont has a chance in massachusetts, some other states Hillary Clinton will sweep the rest. Frankly, i think thats all she wrote. Not that sanders is dropping out. He is going to stay in and try to get as many delegates as possible, try to influence the platform but i dont think there is any doubt left that Hillary Clinton will be the nominee. Is the campaign feeling confident is that any way an indicator of the potential outcome for the six Southern States up for grabs on super tuesday . I think they are feeling good. Obviously when you win this way it is a great feeling. I want to underscore they are not taking anything for granted. She is working her heart out to appeal to every voter, to earn every vote. I think Bernie Sanders has run a Terrific Campaign and made the Democratic Party better. It has made senator, secretary clinton better. I think she has made beenny better. As a clinton supporter, i would say i dont want beenny to drop out. I think this is a debate and a conversation that needs to happen in the Democratic Party and the more it happens, the more enthusiasm there will be on our side. Especially when you compare it to the craziness going on the republican side. I think people see that our two candidates are actually out there, focused on the issues, trying to
