Why do you suppose it is that these people listen to Trump and instantly feel such an affinity for him?

The host of an “unapologetically pro-White” radio program received press credentials from the Donald Trump campaign at a rally last weekend in Memphis, Tennessee, according to a blog post flagged by Little Green Footballs.

James Edwards, the host of the “Political Cesspool” show, wrote a glowing blog post describing his positive experience at the Millington Regional Airport event, where he recorded an episode of his show from within the press pen. Photos interspersed throughout the post show Edwards beaming with a Trump media badge pinned to his suit jacket, as well as other reporters in the cordoned-off press area who he describes as “the enforcers of political correctness.”

“I must admit that this rally lived up to my expectation,” Edwards wrote in the post.

“I’ve been saying for years on the radio that the majority of Americans fundamentally agree with us on the issues and that the neocons were generals of a phantom army," he continued. "I am being proven right. 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 also notes that he will air a previously recorded 20-minute interview with Donald Trump, Jr. on his show on Saturday.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond Wednesday to TPM's request for comment.

The Political Cesspool’s mission statement outlines a hard-right ideology that rejects “abortion, feminism, and homosexuality” and calls “to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races.” Archived blog posts celebrate Edwards’ efforts to preserve Confederate monuments in Memphis, Tennessee and refer to interracial sex as “white genocide.”
They love the guy. And why not?
