Donald Trump, the presidential candidate who refuses to denounce the Ku Klux Klan, has reportedly allowed James Edwards, a white supremacist radio talk show host, VIP access at his rallies. The âpro-whiteâ host even landed a recent interview with the Republican front-runner's son.
According to the Huffington Post, Edwards spoke with Donald Trump Jr. in an interview expected to air this Saturday for Edwardsâ radio show, The Political Cesspool.Â
Edwards bragged about his VIP access, which included press credentials and âVIPâ parking, at a Trump rally in Memphis, Tenn.
âWeâre watching history in the making,â Edwards said during his radio broadcast from the Memphis Trump rally, the Huffington Post reports. âDonald Trump will be the first Republican nominee that I have ever voted for.â
Edwards claims that his show is not racist but âpromotes a proud, paleoconservative Christian worldview,â as he wrote in a statement sent to the Huffington Post. He added, âWe reject media descriptions of our work as âwhite supremacistt,â âpro-slaveryâ and other such scare words.â
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks these types of hatemongers, describes Edwardsâ radio show as a âracist, anti-Semitic radio showâ that features a âwide roster of white supremacists, anti-Semites and other extremists, such as the longtime Klan leader David Duke and Holocaust denier Willis Carto. Its mission statement says it âstands for the Dispossessed Majorityâ and is âpro-white.ââ
