 Remember when Republican nominee Donald Trump took a lot of criticism after he didn't strongly disavow former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke's endorsement during the primary campaign? Well, his son, Eric Trump made sure there was no ambiguity regarding his own opinion of Duke, telling a Denver radio host on Tuesday that he thinks the white supremacist deserves "a bullet." 
 
 After KHOW host Ross Kaminsky said that Duke — who is running for a Louisiana Senate seat — "desperately deserves a bullet in the head," Trump agreed. 
 
 "Ross, it's disgusting," Trump said. "And by the way, if I said exactly what you said, I'd get killed for it. But I think I'll say it anyway. The guy does deserve a bullet. These aren't good people. These are horrible people." 
 
 Trump went on to commend his father's outreach to African-Americans. "My father is the first Republican who's gone out and said, 'Listen, what's happened to the African-American community is horrible and I'm going to take care of it.'" 
 
 Trump said the Democrats are deliberately trying to make his father look like a bigot by tying him to Duke. "This is the MO of the DNC," he said. He said the Clinton campaign intended to discredit his father by labeling him a "bigot, a racist, xenophobic, this and that." 
 
 Despite Duke's racist views, some might say advocating his assassination is a bit over the top. Perhaps the younger Trump ought to have heeded the advice he said he sometimes gives his father that "sometimes you're just too brutally direct." 
 
 But, as Eric Trump said inthe radio interview, "In terms of guns we're the most pro-Second Amendment family in the entire world."

 (CNN) Eric Trump said on Thursday that former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke deserves "a bullet." 
 
 "Ross, it's disgusting and by the way, if I said exactly what you said, I'd get killed for it but I think I'll say it anyway," the Republican nominee's son said after host Ross Kaminsky of 630 KHOW Denver radio suggested Duke deserves a bullet to the head. "The guy does deserve a bullet. I mean, these aren't good people. These are horrible people. In fact, I commend my father. My father's the first Republican who's gone out and said, 'Listen, what's happened to the African-American community is horrible and I'm going to take care of it.'" 
 
 Reached for comment, Duke told CNN, "That's a good one, I'm in the middle of project right now." Duke requested CNN call him back in an hour, saying, "I have to think about it." 
 
 A comment request to Eric Trump and the Trump campaign was not immediately returned. 
 
 Duke, who is running for US Senate in Louisiana, has, like many other white nationalists, been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump during the 2016 election. Duke, a heavy underdog in that race, reaffirmed his support for Trump during a debate with his opponents on Wednesday night.

 In an extended interview with Ross, Eric Trump explains why his dad should be president. Ross suggested that the left is trying to portray the Trump campaign as an extension of a white nationalist movement in the US, adding that KKK leader David Duke " desperately deserves a bullet in the head ." In a remarkable moment of political candor, Eric Trump agreed : "If I said exactly what you said, I'd get killed for it. But I think I'll say it anyway: the guy does deserve a bullet." (That part of the conversation starts just after the 13-minute mark.) 
 
 Each weekday morning from 5AM to 10AM, Ross brings a fresh perspective to the news, politics, culture and everyday life. For Ross, it’s all about great ideas, freedom, and fun…and not about labels, about “us versus them,” or about assuming that a disagreement means someone has bad intentions. What can we do together to make Denver – along with the rest of the state, country and planet – a better place for us and our children? Ross’s approach is distinctly libertarian; he’s still trying to figure out if that means he makes everyone a little bit happy or a little bit cranky. But whichever it is on any given day, he cares about your opinion.While most of Ross’s career has been in financial markets trading (waving his hands and yelling on a trading floor in Chicago for many years), Ross has been involved in political media since college and in radio for the past decade. He’s a columnist for the American Spectator and a contributor to the Denver Post. But it’s no secret that he really loves radio – and hopes you can tell when you tune in to the show or listen to a podcast. Ross is an adventure traveler, Navy brat, science geek, and NFL fan. Having escaped the People's Republic of Boulder, Ross lives near Denver with his wonderful, beautiful and talented Australian wife, Kristen, and their two children.
– There was no hesitation or ambiguity from Eric Trump Thursday when 630 KHOW Denver host Ross Kaminsky asked him about Senate candidate and former Klansman David Duke: Trump's second son said the "disgusting" Duke "deserves a bullet." Trump agreed when Kaminsky suggested the Louisiana candidate "desperately deserves a bullet in the head," USA Today reports. "If I said exactly what you said, I'd get killed for it, but I think I'll say it anyway," Trump said. "The guy does deserve a bullet. I mean, these aren't good people. These are horrible people." "My father's the first Republican who's gone out and said, 'Listen, what's happened to the African-American community is horrible and I'm going to take care of it,'" said Eric Trump, accusing Democrats of trying to tie Duke to his father to make him seem like a "bigot, a racist, xenophobic, this and that." When reached by CNN for comment, Duke—who endorsed Trump for president earlier this year—said, "That's a good one," adding "I have to think about it." Earlier this week, the Trump campaign rejected the endorsement of the KKK's Crusader newspaper and condemned the burning of a Mississippi church by somebody who spray-painted "Vote Trump" on the building. (Duke's godson has rejected the white nationalist movement.)
