Eric Trump on Friday said he's "laying low" one day after saying that former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke "deserves a bullet."

"Listen, I'm not talking about anymore bullets," the son of Donald Trump said on Michigan's "Big Show" when host Michael Patrick Shiels jokingly asked him if Syrian President Bashar al-Assad also deserved a bullet in the head. "I'm not talking about anymore bullets, I'm laying low. Amazing. Amazing."

Story continues below audio.

 

 

On a Thursday radio show in Denver, Eric Trump said the infamous white nationalist Duke should be shot.

"The guy does deserve a bullet. I mean, these aren't good people," Eric Trump said of Duke on a Denver radio station Thursday.

Eric Trump reiterated his position Friday that Duke and people like him "aren’t good people," minus the bullet reference.

Duke has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump throughout his primary and presidential campaigns, at times comparing their ideologies. Duke is running for an open Senate seat in Louisiana.

Also, the official newspaper of the KKK, The Crusader, ran a full, front-page article supporting and espousing — though not officially endorsing — Trump and his policies.
