Candidates blast Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is getting criticism from his fellow Republican presidential candidates for his refusal to denounce an endorsement from former KKK leader David Duke.

Candidate Marco Rubio says, “We cannot be a party who refuses to condemn white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan.”

Ted Cruz tweeted, “You’re better than this. We should all agree, racism is wrong, KKK is abhorrent.”
