Though Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence declined Monday to say whether he thinks former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke is a deplorable individual, he stressed the GOP presidential ticket rejects his support.

“I’m not really sure why the media keeps dropping David Duke’s name,” Pence said. “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.”
