After the minor scandal that erupted after the white nationalist radio host James Edwards was given press credentials at a Donald Trump rally in Memphis, the Trump campaign deflected criticism by claiming that it provided credentials to every reporter who asked for them. Not true, claims a local black newspaper.

If Donald Trump Jr. had known that the radio host he was speaking to was pro-slavery, Bloomberg Politics reports, he would not have consented to the interview: “This is clearly the mainstream media trying to turn a story into nothing,” he said. Pardon?

“I attended a Donald Trump rally in Memphis on Saturday night as a fully credentialed member of the media,” wrote radio host James Edwards in a blog post yesterday. On the sidebar of the post, you’ll find a link to Edwards’ mission statement, which reads in part, “We wish to revive the White birthrate above replacement level fertility and beyond to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races.”
