South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley slammed Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump for choosing not to disavow the endorsement from former KKK leader David Duke.

"We saw and looked at true hate in the eyes last year in Charleston,” Haley said while stumping at an Atlanta rally with Marco Rubio. “I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the KKK. That is not a part of our party, that is not who we want as president. We we allow not allow that in our country."
