Your fellow leftists were howling for Trump to condemn the KKK because some individual whom he'd never met or had anything to do with said he was supporting him.  That sparked a week of outrage from the left demanding he condemn this guy and the group.  Of course, when another KKK member endorsed Hillary, no similar demands were made of her.

The hypocrisy is duly noted.

Okay, first of all, I know your favorite line of attack is to call someone either a liberal or a leftist, but I am neither of those.  

The kerfuffle about Trump and the KKK came when he was asked a direct question about an endorsement from the KKK and he refused to answer it.   This was during the primary, and the week of outrage wasn't just from the left, it was also and mostly from fellow Republican candidates like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

It was the media hounding Trump to condemn something he had absolutely no reason to condemn to begin with.  Republican candidates who jumped into the fray were pretty much taking their cue from a rabid media looking to attack anything and everything related to Trump, and why?  Because he was mopping the floor with all of them.  They had no choice.

Again, you say it's unnecessary to condemn the behavior of miscreants that you clearly support (deny your political viewpoint, but you betray your denials with the content of your posts), yet there's clearly a double-standard here.  No need to respond.  Hypocrisy is fully expected from your side.
