Billionaire real estate developer Donald Trump came under fire Sunday for passing up a chance to condemn former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke and other white supremacists, as well as for retweeting a quote from Italian fascist Benito Mussolini.<br />“I know nothing about David Duke,” Trump said on CNN’s “State of the Union” television show.<br />“I know nothing about white supremacists.”<br />Duke voiced backing for Trump on his radio program recently, and praised him for “taking on the Jewish establishment,” although he stopped short of endorsing the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.<br />He also said that “voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage.”<br />On Feb. 25, the Anti-Defamation League called on Trump to distance himself from Duke and other white nationalists, and to publicly condemn their racism.
