White Supremacists Are Broadcasting From Inside Trump Rallies

Oh good grief, five minutes of checking on who you give media credentials to would help. Political Cesspool is a CCC/Stormfront Radio show. Heck, just look up his website to check on him, he links to AmRen, VDare and other WN sites.

On the heels of his endorsements by the Ku Klux Klan and David Duke, the Donald Trump campaign has granted press credentials to one of the most disgusting antisemitic white supremacists in the US: the host of Tennessee’s “Political Cesspool” radio show, James Edwards. (Google cache link so you don’t have to visit a white supremacist web site.) (not linked on GOPBR, Google it if you don't know).

The Don is a great businessman, perhaps the world's greatest, so I can't believe he would run a slipshod campaign; I'm worried those credentials were issued because of a check.

And the Trump crowd here will applaud.

The Donald is expanding his electoral reach by scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I'm more worried that he hasn't even begun to scrape the bottom.  Before we're done there will be an endorsement from ISIS that Trump will conveniently fail to disavow: "ISIS?  Is that the new casino in Las Vegas?"

That's funny as hell.

White Supremacists Are Broadcasting From Inside Trump Rallies

A notorious "pro-white" radio host even interviewed the presidential candidate's son.

James Edwards, a notorious white supremacist and radio talk show host, is promoting a recent interview with the son of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump that'll air on Saturday.

Edwards talked to the real estate mogul's eldest son and campaign surrogate, Donald Trump, Jr., for his "pro-white" radio show, "The Political Cesspool." Previous guests on the show have included Neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers, and Ku Klux Klan leaders.

He heralded the 20-minute interview in a blog post that boasted about his access inside a Trump rally in Memphis, Tennessee, last Saturday, where Edwards was broadcasting his show live. He said Trump's campaign gave Edwards and his co-hosts full press credentials and "VIP" parking near the event.

"We're watching history in the making," Edwards said at the start of his three-hour broadcast from the press area of the Memphis Trump rally.  "Donald Trump will be the first Republican nominee that I have ever voted for."

Edwards said he and his co-hosts have attended three different Trump rallies in recent months: One in Illinois, one in Arkansas, and the rally in Memphis. With press credentials from Trump, the white supremacists feel "every bit as legit" as members of the traditional media, he added.

A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign did not respond to questions late Tuesday about how Edwards was credentialed, or why Donald Trump Jr. gave an interview to a white supremacist talk show.

Edwards' interview with Donald Trump, Jr. comes at an awkward time for the Trump campaign, which is fighting the perceptions among voters that the businessman's anti-immigrant platform is thinly veiled racism.

Last week, Trump received a ringing endorsement from the former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who told his white nationalist audience that voting against the reality TV star is "really treason to your  heritage.”

Trump initially claimed that he did not know enough about Duke to reject his endorsement, but has since disavowed his support. The Klan leader and former state legislator is a frequent guest on "The Political Cesspool."

The Donald, of course, "knows nothing about these groups, these supremacists.  What are they?"

[mountaineer]

why Donald Trump Jr. gave an interview to a white supremacist talk show.

It would be interesting to see whether Edwards truthfully identified himself to young Trump.

So would you be equally mortified if Trump afforded Muslim Brotherhood or Farrakhan's group or Black Lives Matter the same treatment?
What about the 1st amendment you are all preaching about, or does that only matter if you agree with them..
A candidate is supposed to garner support from all corners of the country.

Some people need to get over themselves....

Muslim Brotherhood and Farrakhan's group, yes I'd be mortified. 

A candidate is supposed to garner support from racists and bigots?  Are you serious?

We can give him the benefit of the doubt and at least admit he probably doesn't hire the best and the brightest which is why this guy wasn't vetted?

I think it would be funny if someone paid a porn star to work for Ted Cruz's campaign.....oh, wait....that already happened.

Except that 'porn star' was a Christian Conservative leader who turned her life around. The mistake was denouncing her.

Now if he married her (just kidding..)

[Sanguine]

I thought she was paid to be an actor in a commercial?  You are equating that with working for the campaign?

And, then there's the born-again aspect.

If Trump doesn't chicken out from the FOX debate Thursday, I would love to see Megyn ask a question to him on this. If it doesn't come out now , you just know the Hillary Super PACS are fully aware of it and are lying in wait, to bring it out at just the right time.

Seriously?    What does this have to do with the 1st amendment? Nobody is trying to shut the station down. They are free to broadcast all the hate they want. But it is political suicide to associate yourself with these groups in any way if you are running for President, especially right after  Daddy Trump disavows them. Hard to take that disavow seriously now, isn't it?   Wait till Hillary uses this. And she will.

Trump says he has changed his stance on certain issues over the years too.  Is he not allowed to have a change?

Deflection.  We weren't talking about Trump.

If a murderer endorses me does that make me a murderer?

[Sanguine]

If a murderer endorses me does that make me a murderer?

No.  But, we should find out WHY a murderer would endorse you.  May be related to your stance on donuts or labor laws, and have nothing to do with the promotion of murder.

[sinkspur]

If a murderer endorses me does that make me a murderer?

If you don't condemn the murderer, it's reasonable to ask why you don't.

[Dexter]

If you don't condemn the murderer, it's reasonable to ask why you don't.

If I neglect to condemn him because I'm more concerned with winning does that make me a murderer? Does it mean I support murder? Maybe it just means I want to win.

[mountaineer]

If Trump Jr. knew the guy was a white supremacist, he shouldn't have wasted time with him. No one should dignify these idiots' existence.
But is there evidence he knew to whom he was speaking? And what, if anything, did Trump Sr. have to do with the conversation?
