Video: Trump references ‘Jewish Philanthropies’ when asked about KKK
Donald Trump has referenced ‘Jewish philanthropies’ when asked about his reluctance to condemn an ex-KKK leader.
Trump made the remark whilst being probed about his failure to distance himself from an endorsement by ex-Kl Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke.
Speaking on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ on Thursday, The frontrunner to be Republican presidential candidate said Duke had “talked about ‘groups of people.’” Trump said “I don’t like to disavow groups if I don’t know who they are. I mean, you could have the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies in ‘groups,’” he said.
