Rubio blasts Trump for failing to criticize Ku Klux Klan
- 8 years ago
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio on Monday once again blasted Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump for failing to denounce the Ku Klux Klan.
Trump appeared Monday on NBC's "Today" show and claimed that a "very bad earpiece" caused him to mishear a question he was asked Sunday on CNN about David Duke, the former KKK leader.
Duke has endorsed Trump, saying that voting for anyone but him "is really treason to your heritage."
Failing to denounce Duke means that Trump is "unelectable now," Rubio told supporters in an airplane hanger here.
"I don’t care how bad the earpiece is, Ku Klux Klan comes through pretty clearly – and he refuses to criticize it," Rubio said to cheers from the crowd.
Rubio made the remarks at the first of his five stops Monday, a packed day of campaigning ahead of Super Tuesday, when 11 states will reward 595 delegates on a proportional basis.
