Trump lied his ass off about David Duke and the "faulty earpiece".

“What I don’t understand,” Kelly asked, “is why he just didn’t disavow David Duke in that second interview?”

Pierson repeated the party line, claiming that Trump had a defective earpiece and wasn’t able to hear Tapper’s question — which, of course, raises other questions that the campaign has not addressed, such as “Why didn’t Trump just ask Tapper to repeat the question instead of barreling ahead with a canned answer?” or “If he doesn’t quite understand what Vladimir Putin is saying, will he ask the Russian president to repeat himself or throw America into a nuclear conflict over a simple misunderstanding?

.....

She then noted that she went back and checked the tape, and said Tapper asked Trump “Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say you don’t want his vote, or that of other white supremacists in this election?”

His response, Kelly said, was “I don’t know anything about David Duke, I don’t know what you’re talking about with white supremacists,” which to her mind indicates that Trump is lying when he said he had a faulty earpiece, given that he repeated back to Tapper all the elements of his question.

If his earpiece was "faulty", he would have asked for the question to be repeated, not said “I don’t know anything about David Duke, I don’t know what you’re talking about with white supremacists,”, which proves that he heard the question perfectly.

He's watch how the GOP lies all the time and probably figured he could do it too and get away with it. OF COURSE there is video of Trump talking about David Duke proving he knows exactly who the guy is along with the KKK.

Typical GOP liar, Trump fits right in.

If he had "lied his ass off" in truth, there'd be nothing left of him. I still see a lot of ass there.

Well, sort of.
