During an interview with ABC's 'Good Morning America' on Tuesday, Donald Trump told George Stephanopoulos that he promptly disavowed David Duke after the controversy and that he has done 'so much for equality.' Trump: 'There’s nobody that’s done so much for equality as I have'

Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would unequivocally renounce any support of white supremacists and declared that no one has done as much for equality as he has.

Trump found himself embroiled in controversy over his refusal to disavow support of the KKK and its former grand wizard, David Duke, on Sunday — despite having disavowed Duke’s support just days earlier.

“David Duke and all were disavowed. I disavowed them on Friday,” Trump said in a phone interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday.

The Republican front-runner said he also disavowed them on social media. “Almost immediately after on Twitter and Facebook they were disavowed again,” he told George Stephanopoulos. “I disavowed them every time I speak to somebody, virtually, and, you know, they just keep it going. They keep it going. They said: 'Oh, we never looked at your Twitter account. We never looked at Facebook.' I said take a look at Facebook. It was totally disavowed.”

Stephanopoulos asked Trump if he was “prepared to make a clear and unequivocal statement renouncing support of all white supremacists.” “Of course I am. There’s nobody that’s done so much for equality as I have,” the billionaire responded, before pointing to his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, as an example.

Mar-a-Lago is “totally open to everybody,” Trump said, and is “a club that, frankly, set a new standard — a new standard in clubs and a new standard in Palm Beach. And I’ve got great credit for it. That is totally open to everybody, so of course I am.”

Trump predicted Monday that he would do “phenomenally well” with black voters. But more than two-dozen black students were removed from a Trump rally in Valdosta, Georgia, later in the day.

Secret Service agents reportedly escorted the students outside from atop the bleachers, where they were reportedly standing quietly. The students said the Secret Service told them Trump requested their removal before he began speaking — numerous people were removed from his events earlier in the day. However, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks denied that charge, telling USA Today, “There is no truth to that whatsoever.”
