Mike Pence Refuses to Call Fmr. KKK Leader David Duke "Deplorable"
------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence,
refused to call former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke "deplorable"
during an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer Monday.

Wolf Blizer: "David Duke, for example, some other white nationalists,
whoe would fit into that category of deplorables, right?"

Gov. Mike Pence: "Well, as I've told you the last time I was on, I'm not
really sure why the media keeps dropping David Duke's name. Donald Trump
has denounced David Duke repeatedly. We don't want his support, and we
don't want the support of people who think like him."

Wolf Blitzer: "Well, you'd call him a deplorable? You would call him-"

Gov. Mike Pence: "No, I'm not in the name-calling business, Wolf. You
know me better than that."
