Trump grants press credentials to 'pro-white' radio show host

Trump grants press credentials to 'pro-white' radio show host

Donald Trump's campaign raised some eyebrows on Wednesday after a radio program host who once wrote favorably of slavery was given press credentials to cover a Trump event over the weekend.

New York Magazine first reported that "Political Cesspool" host James Edwards attended a rally in Memphis last Saturday "as a fully credentialed member of the media" to cover the Republican presidential front-runner.

Edwards said that he reported from inside the press pen for his radio program, which represents a "pro-White" philosophy aiming in part to "grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races,” according to its website.

Edwards once wrote while commenting on a Jamaican Observer article: "For blacks in the Americas, slavery is the greatest thing that ever happened to them. Unfortunately, it’s the worst thing that ever happened to white Americans."
