Donald Trump Jr, the eldest son of the Republican presidential frontrunner and one of his political surrogates, has granted a 20-minute radio interview to a prominent white supremacist who broadcasts what has been dubbed as "the primary radio nexus of hate in America".
The younger Trump will be featured as guest of honor in Saturday's broadcast of the Political Cesspool, a three-hour program that lists among its objectives, "to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races." The show is presented by James Edwards, an avowed white nationalist who is pro-slavery and whose previous guests include the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke as well as a raft of Holocaust deniers and neo-Nazis.
Edwards was granted credentials by the Trump campaign to appear as a bona fide media reporter at a recent stump appearance by the real estate billionaire in Memphis. He was given a media badge and a VIP parking slot before enjoying one-to-one time with the candidate's son.
In a blog posted on his white nationalist website, Edwards said that his experience at the rally "lived up to my expectations". In glowing terms, he said that his hopes for Trump's candidacy had been proven right - Donald Trump was the leader "our people" had been waiting for.
"Our people just needed a viable candidate and they've identified Trump as that man. There is no doubt that Trump's populism and nationalism is galvanizing our nation and may change the course of American history for the better right before our very eyes."
Edwards went on to praise Trump's "masculine attitude" as a "prototypical alpha male" and said he was supporting his candidacy because "because immigration is the single biggest problem that our nation needs to solve. Demographics is destiny."

No deflection, just fact.
The Southern Poverty Law Center calls them that! The Show’s name is “The Political Cesspool”
My show, The Political Cesspool, promotes a proud, paleoconservative Christian worldview, and we reject media descriptions of our work as white supremacist, pro-slavery and other such scare words.
As I clearly wrote in yesterdays article, in no way should anyone interpret our press credentialing and subsequent interview with Donald Trump, Jr. as any kind of endorsement by the Trump campaign.
The grotesque way in which the media is purposefully misrepresenting my work by taking certain cherry-picked statements wildly out of context is both shameful and reprehensible. That said, I apologize for nothing and I retract nothing.

Like this one against one of the Trump University students?
Trump also filed a $1 million defamation suit against former Trump University student Tarla Makaeff, who had spent about $37,000 on seminars, after she joined the class action lawsuit and publicized her classroom experiences on social media. Unable to prove malice, Trump University lost an anti-SLAPP lawsuit (under statutes designed to thwart legal intimidation of class action participants) and was ordered by a U.S. District Judge in April 2015 to pay Makaeff and her lawyers $798,774.24 in legal fees and costs.
“to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races.”
How terrible, and disgusting!! Doesn’t everyone know that in the era of race-whipped white people #whitelivesdontmatter?
But, if he granted an interview to LaRaza, the New Black Panthers, the Nation of Islam or Black Lies Matter, the Anti-Defamation League, or the Southern Poverty Law Center, all those would be considered AOK.
to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races. That is how the the SOuthern Poverty Law Center defines him! You take the word of the SPLC???
When a guy who gives good speeches starts talking about “nationalism” and drawing big crowds, Nazis get a stiffy.
She has now withdrawn (Feb 8th) from the Five Person Class Action Lawsuit.
Trumps attorneys are saying...wait a minute. She's the original plaintiff...and the whole suit hinges on her.
It's not over.
And it is only gonna get worse.
15-30 year olds aren't paralyzed with fear with the idea of being called a racist. They are more worried about living in squatter camps in a white minority country--that is the reality mom, dad, grandma and grandpa baby boomer left them.
I don’t take the word of the Southern Poverty Law Center or the Anti-Defamation League for anything, both are extreme leftist anti-white hate groups.
I don’t know anything about James Edwards (having never heard of him before), but I really would like an answer to the following question: Why is it not okay for White Christians to promote, advocate, and stand up for their interests? All other racial, ethnic, and religious groups do this, and apparently it’s okay when they do it. Is the ideology of multiculturalism merely a tool for gaining a competitive advantage by some groups over others? If so, this would mean that the actual goal of multiculturalism is not tolerance and inclusiveness, but rather it is to allow minority groups to displace the majority and reduce it to the lowest common denominator. Why should the majority group acquiesce to being displaced and reduced in this manner? What sane person (or group) would agree to this? I, for one, refuse to do so or to apologize for the fact that I’m not Black, Hispanic, Muslim, or whatever.

As it turns out, there are three lawsuits over Trump’s school that launched in 2005 and shuttered in 2011.
Two are simultaneous class action claims. The lead plaintiff of one is Tarla Makaeff, a yoga instructor who Yahoo News reports felt pressure to back out of the suit out of fear of being bankrupted by Trump during the process. Trump counter-sued Makaeff for defamation, but a judge rejected his claim and ordered him to pay her $800,000 in legal bills. Her case covers a class of Trump University customers from California, Florida, and New York. What makes this case particularly interesting is that Trump is on the witness list, meaning that could force him to take a break from his campaign to testify in the case.
That class action claims that Makaeff and others paid up to $60,000, some maxing out their credit cards, to pay for what ended up being seminars in hotel ballrooms. Ads promised training from expert instructors handpicked by Trump to teach methods that he developed. “Just copy exactly what I’ve done and get rich,” Trump said in advertising materials, according to Crain’s New York. But instead of Trump’s methods taught by experts, the students claim they sat through what amounted to a glorified infomercial that lacked any practical advice.
That case is headed towards trial, after a judge denied Trump’s motion for summary judgment on November 18, 2015, as reported on the website of Co-Lead Class Counsel Zeldes Haeggquist & Eck, LLP . The judge also dismissed the plaintiffs’ claim for injunctive relief, but allowed the claims against Trump for violating California’s Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and Legal Remedies Act, as well as committing financial elder abuse under California law, and violating New York’s consumer protection statute and and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and Misleading Advertising Law.
The other class action, representing a nationwide class of plaintiffs, claims that Trump University violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (“RICO”) Act.
So what?
Shoot the messenger why don't you? Is it true or not? Is Trump, Junior, being on this person's show or isn't he?
It appears he already granted the interview, it just has not been broadcast yet.
I agree. Interesting that other politicians have appeared on that show - i.e. South Carolina Lt. Governor Glenn McConnell
" We invited him to be on the show and he accepted, just like many elected officials and assorted celebrities have done over the years"

It may have been careless to grant an interview (the contents of which are as yet unknown), but it’s not as if Trump featured a porn star in one of his ads or anything.
Guess Cruz’s “magnificent strategy” laid a big egg there.

Now it’s Cruz’s fault that Trump and his kids are hanging around with scummy racist.

Clearly the people running the campaign have no judgement especially in view of his interview with Tapper last week.
The rats will bury him with this millstone.
I’ve seen both the sons....they seem very bright and well balanced...I hope you’re right.
They are little pitbulls when defending their dad but they are able to control their tempers and their mouths. Trump has been very smart in letting them handle some of the media. I have a good feeling about them though. In fact, if it’s a situation where they are being baited, I think they would handle it better than their dad.
Pure BS. There is no interview with Donald Trump Jr.
