History is history. Today is today.
We have a President who pretended not to know who David Duke is, to keep his base happy.
WE have a fool here who omits Trumps strong disavowals of David Duke....., over the years.

Biden wrong when he says Trump hasn’t condemned David Duke
By Amy ShermanAugust 27, 2019
EXCERPT:
Joe Biden said that President Donald Trump has failed to condemn racist leaders like David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader, and white nationalist Richard Spencer.
In a speech in Iowa Aug. 20,
Biden said:
"David Duke, head of the Ku Klux Klan, former head of the Klan. When that group came out of the woods, the fields, carrying those torches he said, ‘
That’s why we voted for Donald Trump.’ He said he would take the country back. The white nationalist, Richard Spencer, he hailed Trump. He said, ‘This is the white nationalism we have been looking for.’ Did you hear him condemn either one of those people? Ever utter a word of condemnation?"
Biden didn’t answer his own question, but he was clearly stating Trump hasn’t condemned either racist leader.
Biden accurately quoted
Duke’s comments about Trump, and Spencer did
hail Trump.
But Biden exaggerates when he says Trump hasn’t condemned Duke at all.
Trump’s condemnation of Duke goes back decades, though sometimes Trump has been more forceful than other times. Trump has also criticized demonstrations in which Spencer participated. But then Trump also said that there were "very fine people, on both sides" at the Charlottesville, Va., march."
