Jared Taylor, a leading white nationalist known for his academic-sounding deconstructions of multiculturalism, has been an ardent supporter of Donald Trump since the earliest days of the billionaire\u2019s presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

The professorial Taylor\u2013who speaks with a formality that verges on the pedantic\u2013admits that he\u2019s not a big fan of Trump\u2019s raw, confrontational style. But he calls himself a \u201cone-issue voter\u201d\u2013and that issue is Trump\u2019s bread and butter: Immigration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what he\u2019s done is a very important thing,\u201d Taylor told The Washington Post. \u201cHe\u2019s the first candidate in decades to say almost explicitly that immigration should be in the interest of Americans and not just immigrants.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cHe\u2019s attractive to many Americans who see their country slipping through their fingers. You don\u2019t want to end your days living in an outpost of Haiti or Guatemala do you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Last weekend, Taylor\u2013editor of the white supremacist magazine American Renaissance\u2013lent his voice to a robo-call recording urging registered voters in Iowa to back Trump. Those potential voters, Taylor told The Post, are part of a silent majority who are tired of being asked to celebrate diversity but are afraid of being labeled bigots.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge you to vote for Donald Trump because he is the one candidate who points out that we should accept immigrants who are good for America,\u201d Taylor says on the recording, which was paid for by the American National super PAC. \u201cWe don\u2019t need Muslims. We need smart, well-educated white people who will assimilate to our culture. Vote Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does Taylor think his plea will resonate with Iowans?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see how the vote goes,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that most official Republicans have no idea how betrayed ordinary white people feel by their country bring turned into something else. Ordinary white folks are sick of having to press 1 for Spanish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor said he cited Muslims in his message because Trump has been resoundingly criticized for saying the United States should bar Muslims from entering the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have yet to hear from anyone the benefits that Muslims bring to this country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Taylor has previously said Trump \u201cmay be the last hope for a president who would be good for white people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
