About This Ad

Transcript
I asked Donald Trump three times if he would disavow the support of David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan. Well I have to look at the group. Trump refuses to denounce the KKK. Think about that. For President. Ronald Reagan made us believe that it was morning in America again. Well now the children of the Reagan revolution are ready to assume the mantle of leadership. Conservative Solutions PAC paid for and is responsible for the content of his advertising.

Note

The super PAC supporting Marco Rubio charges, "Trump refuses to denounce the KKK. Think about that — for president?" PolitiFact rules the claim as "Mostly False," since Trump has publicly rejected David Duke, a former clan leader. The ad is airing widely in Florida leading up to the March 15 primary.

We rate the claim Mostly False.
