When Donald Trump’s campaign gave a “pro-White” radio host a media credential for a Memphis event, the campaign defended itself by saying it provided press passes to everyone who asked.

But TheWrap has learned that that wasn’t true for an African-American newspaper.

“We sent out two email requests,” Karanja Ajanaku, executive editor of The New Tri-State Defender, told TheWrap. “The first email was sent on the Monday before the event, but we never heard back. The second email was sent on Thursday. They never even acknowledged our emails.”

Such was not the case for James Edwards, host of The Political Cesspool, which describes itself as “unapologetically pro-White.”
