The Know Nothings are the oldest racist and anti-immigrant organization in America. Before the Civil War they fought against the immigration of German and Irish Catholics. If members were asked about their involvement in the often violent actions of the group, the members responded, " I know nothing," which could also mean "I, Know Nothing" (or, I am a Know Nothing). After the Civil War the organization evolved into the Ku Klux Klan, the Invisible Empire, and continued its tradition of secrecy.
Donald Trump, when asked about Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke's enthusiastic endorsement of him, said, "I don't know, did he endorse me or what's going on, because, you know, I know nothing about David Duke.

Donald Trump's father and mentor, Fred Trump, was arrested in 1927 for fighting with police and refusing to take off his white robe at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Queens, New York. In 1973 Fred Trump was sued by the Justice Department for refusing to rent to African Americans. ...
This also reminds me of the cop in FL who shot the unarmed guy on the ground with his hands up and when asked why he said, "I don't know".
Thinking about that Florida incident infuriates me. The 911 caller warned the police that dude might be mentally ill and that there was another man helping him, and that the object in his hand might not be a gun. A witness at the scene saw that it wasn't a weapon and tried to tell police. The health care worker had his hands up, identified himself and told the police that it was not a gun...and the ***** still gets shot
What in the actual ****
