DONALD TRUMP DISAVOWS DAVID DUKE’S PRAISE: Donald Trump “totally” disavowed an anti-Jewish tirade on his behalf by white supremacist David Duke and said there was no place for anti-Semitism in society, media sources reported 5 May 2016. Duke on his radio program praised Trump’s emergence from the Indiana primary as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee as an opportunity to expose “Jewish supremacists who control our country.” The Anti-Defamation League, which had called on Trump to denounce Duke’s comments, welcomed his disavowal. “While no one should associate Mr. Trump’s own views with David Duke’s hatred, it is vital for political leaders to use their pulpit to speak out against bigotry,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “We think it is important that Mr. Trump denounced the anti-Semitism of David Duke and has made clear that he disavows anti-Semitism.” (JTA)
