Trump selects white supremacist as delegate
Quote:
On Monday evening, California's secretary of state published a list of delegates chosen by the Trump campaign for the upcoming Republican presidential primary in the state. Trump's slate includes William Johnson, one of the country's most prominent white nationalists.
Johnson leads the American Freedom Party, a group that "exists to represent the political interests of White Americans" and aims to preserve "the customs and heritage of the European American people." The AFP has never elected a candidate of its own and possesses at most a few thousand members, but it is "arguably the most important white nationalist group in the country," according to Mark Potok, a senior fellow for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which tracks hate groups.
"I just hope to show how I can be mainstream and have these views," Johnson tells Mother Jones. "I can be a white nationalist and be a strong supporter of Donald Trump and be a good example to everybody."

Trump needs to step back... he's going to overplay his hand with this.

You stopped being a Trump supporter because he didn't know whether to disavow white supremacist endorsements or not, and you don't think he knew about this?

Interesting, considering this isn't even white peoples' country. I'm sure Native Americans ("American Indians"  ) would have quite a bit to say to this ********.

Well he has over 1,000 delegates, I don't think he knows each and every one of them . And it's only delegates, it's not like he approves of everything every delegate of his does.
I just don't think it matters. I still highly dislike him though
