Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Marco slammed rival Donald Trump on Sunday for declining to denounce former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke earlier in the day.
“Really sad,” Cruz wrote on Twitter.
Cruz further told Trump that “you’re better than this. We should all agree, racism is wrong, KKK is abhorrent.”
Rubio later wrote: “We cannot be a party that nominates someone who refuses to condemn white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan.”
BuzzFeed reported last week that Duke, a prominent white nationalist and former KKK grand wizard, urged his supporters to back Trump.
Though Trump said Friday that he disavowed Duke, the GOP frontrunner repeatedly dodged questions about Duke during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Donald Trump knew David Duke was a klansman in 2000, yet denies knowledge of him now. https://t.co/P3eMUj3lWP pic.twitter.com/kJQUKqMxim

In 1984 Ronald Reagan was endorsed by the KKK for reelection. His response: pic.twitter.com/4rIGZMEhns
