Donald Trump said he did not disavow former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke because he had a “lousy earpiece.”

“I’m sitting in a house in Florida with a very bad earpiece that they gave me, and you could hardly hear what he was saying,” the Republican presidential frontrunner told NBC’s “The Today Show,“ referring to an interview he gave to CNN on Sunday morning.

I disavowed David Duke and I disavowed him the day before at a major news conference.
