This is a picture of MSNBC's Katy Tur posing for a picture with James Edwards. Edwards is a white supremacists who touts Nazism and domestic terrorism on his blog and radio show. He is closely affiliated with Stormfront and other related hate sites.
James Edwards has an internet radio show called "The Political Cesspool." This white supremacists was given an all access media pass to a recent Donald Trump campaign event. He was even granted a radio interview with the Trump Campaign. An interview the Trump campaign later denied took place, although James Edwards claims the interview will be broadcast this Saturday.
For those of us who keep even a minimal interest in terroristic, right wing, conservative political activism, James Edwards is very well known. In my view, given the undercurrent of this issue with the Trump campaign, Katy Tur should know who he is. She is the primary Donald Trump beat reporter for MSNBC.
Right Wing Nazi James Edwards proudly displays his media badge at a recent Trump event.

I think for an MSNBC reporter to be posing for pictures with a person like this is just awful.

(4,667 posts)The issue of Nazi's and white supremacists supporting Trump has been relevant for months.
James Edwards is unknown to the general population but is VERY WELL KNOWN to anyone with even a basic understanding of National hate leaders.
She should know who he is. She is either completely ignorant when it comes to a very important aspect of her job, is careless, or has no trouble posing for pictures with people who sponsor racist domestic terrorism.
She is the beat reporter for a major TV news network. If she can't spot a a white supremacist at a Trump rally that would be known to even a novice, how can she do her job?
