Some registered voters in Iowa received robocalls Saturday from a white nationalist super PAC that urged them to support Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
I urge you to vote for Donald Trump because he is the one candidate who points out that we should accept immigrants who are good for America, Jared Taylor said on the robocall, paid for by the American National Super PAC. We dont need Muslims. We need smart, well-educated white people who will assimilate to our culture. Vote Trump.
Taylor is the founder of the white supremacist magazine American Renaissance. The robocall included two more endorsements from a conservative Christian talk show host and the head of the white nationalist American Freedom Party.
Reverend Donald Tan, a Filipino-American minister and host of Christian talk show program "For God and Country," encouraged Iowans to vote for Trump by citing scripture.
First Corinthians states 'God chose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise and God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong, he says on the call. For the Iowa caucuses please support Donald Trump."

I hate robocalls, even when the robot has a pleasant female voice, I still hate robocalls.
Does anybody NOT hate robocalls?
Once, back in 2010 I volunteered to make calls for a candidate for Governor. The first person I called said "Take me off of your list. What the fuck are you doing calling me on a Sunday?" and then slammed the phone down.
I tapped out after that.
Of course, that is a sample size of one, but that person didn't even want a call from another person, much less a robot.
