The KKK is not a key voter issue, Gunnar.
And, any public figure who can't denounce the KKK with confidence at the drop of a hat deserves to be roasted on a spit for it.
Plus, Trump had denounced David Duke by name in the past, before he was running for president. I think Trump probably just wanted to check with his people first to see if he'd be alienating a significant portion of his supporters before denouncing him again. His hesitance to denounce Duke and the KKK immediately was extremely ignorant. I think that hesitation might have resulted in any other candidate being forced out of the race by voter/supporter desertion.
