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 “pro-white” host even landed a recent interview with the Republican front-runner's son.

Edwards bragged about his VIP access, which included press credentials and “VIP” parking, at a Trump rally in Memphis, Tenn.
“We’re watching history in the making,” Edwards said during his radio broadcast from the Memphis Trump rally, the Huffington Post reports. “Donald Trump will be the first Republican nominee that I have ever voted for.”
Edwards claims that his show is not racist but “promotes a proud, paleoconservative Christian worldview,” as he wrote in a statement sent to the Huffington Post. He added, “We reject media descriptions of our work as ‘white supremacistt,’ ‘pro-slavery’ and other such scare words.”
