White nationalist group makes robocalls to Iron Range supporting Trump
The rambling message speaks of "genocide" against whites. At the very end, the speaker acknowledges that the calls are "not authorized" by Trump.
Hours before Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders was scheduled to make a campaign stop in Hibbing, Minn., some voters on the Iron Range received robocalls Thursday from a white nationalist group urging them to support Donald Trump.
"Donald Trump is not a racist, but Donald Trump is not afraid. Don't vote for a Cuban; vote for Donald Trump," William Johnson said on the 45-second automated message, paid for by the American Nationalist Super Pac.
Johnson, chairman of the American Freedom Party, launched the robocall campaign in January before the Iowa caucus, calling Trump its "Great White Hope." In Thursday's call, he identified himself only as "a farmer and white nationalist," and condemned what he called a white genocide in America and Europe.
At the end of the call, Johnson notes that Trump did not authorize the message.
transcript of the robocall:

"The American Nationalist Super PAC makes this call to support Donald Trump. I am William Johnson, a farmer and white nationalist.
"The white race is dying out in America and Europe because we are afraid to be called racist. This is our mind-set: It's OK that our government destroys our children's future, but don't call me racist. I'm afraid to be called racist. It's OK to give away our country for immigration, but don't call me racist. It's OK that few schools anymore have beautiful white children in the majority, but don't call me racist. Gradual genocide against the white race is OK, but don't call me racist. I'm afraid to be called racist.
"Donald Trump is not a racist, but Donald Trump is not afraid. Don't vote for a Cuban; vote for Donald Trump.
"... This call is not authorized by Donald Trump.'?"
You know, if you're supporting a candidate who's being endorsed by people like this or you're the candidate, perhaps it's time to, as the nuns used to warn us "examine your conscience".
