Colbert to Trump: Disavowing KKK Is the Easiest Question to Answer in Politics

TRUMP: "But we will work out some system that's fair. But we either have a country or we don't. We need a border.  We need a wall. We need a wall. You know, I won New Hampshire, and they have a tremendous heroin problem.  And I promised the people of New Hampshire we're going to stop that heroin from coming in. It's a very hard thing to kick. And they have tremendous -- we're going to work on the people that have the habit already, and we're going to try and get them better. We got to try and get them better. They have tremendous--"
HANNITY: "It's bad."
TRUMP: "Of all the places, New Hampshire. It's, like, the first question I get all the time, the heroin problem. Comes right over the southern border. Not going to happen anymore. It's not going to happen anymore."But Trump could have a problem. You see, this time it's not about something he said. It's about something he didn't say."

TAPPER: "Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say you don't want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this selection?" 
TRUMP: "I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists. And so you are asking me a question that I'm supposed to be talking about people that I know nothing about."
TAPPER: "I'm just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here but."
TRUMP: "Honestly, I don't know David Duke."

HANNITY: "It's bad."
COLBERT: "Yeah, Trump needs to know before condemning David Duke or the KKK. It's not like they've Muslim or born in Mexico. He needs to think about it. Now, I recently gave some advice to Hillary Clinton after she could not give a straight answer about whether she had ever lied to the American people. I said that that was the easiest question to answer in politics. Well, I would like to apologize. I was wrong. This is the easiest question to answer in American politics. (Applause) When someone asks you 'Will you disavow the Ku Klux Klan? Just say 'Yes' and start high-fiving your future cabinet. I can understand why you would want to wait for the end of the sentence. If someone  says will you disavow the Koo-- they they could be about to say Koo Koo for Cocoa Puffs or Koo Koo ka Choo and you don't want to anger cereal lovers or Beatles fans. But once they say Ku Klux, you know what is coming next. It's not going to be Ku Klux Crispies or Ku Klux crunchwrap. Of course, Trump had an answer for why he hesitated."

TRUMP: "I'm sitting in a house in Florida with a very bad earpiece that they gave me. And could you hardly hear what he was saying. But what I heard was various groups ... I have a lousy earpiece that is provided by them."
COLBERT: "Yes, he blames this one on the earpiece, though I think he should take some responsibility for the mouth piece. Also, maybe the hair piece."(Applause)
