CNN's Stelter allows guest to call Larry Elder a 'white supremacist' unchallenged, avoids racist attack on him
- 3 years ago
On Sunday's installment of "Reliable Sources," Stelter welcomed Los Angeles Times columnist Jean Guerrero, a White woman and apparent champion of Black Californians, to trash the conservative talk radio host challenging Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in Tuesday's recall election.
"He has been able to reach the minority of voters in California who embrace his white supremacist worldview," Guerrero said. "And, you know, he's co-opted this line by my co-columnist from the headline, you know, calling him the blackface of white supremacy, but he refuses to engage with the actual substance of our reporting. You know, the idea that he- his views were shaped by a well-known white supremacist named Jared Taylor, who he repeatedly quoted in early writings, that he plans to reverse all of the state's progress on immigrant rights and racial justice and that he poses a very real threat to communities of color for all the reasons that we reported in the past."
