      Among the things he said: "There's massive racial discrimination against European Americans and that's the reality."http://www.npr.org/2016/08/05/488793451/former-klan-leader-david-duke-on-his-senate-run-and-donald-trump …

      We had a lot of angry listeners. And a lot of angry colleagues. Apparently I missed the shitstorm around on the office while away.

      Some people felt like we were giving a platform to a white supremacist to spew virulent hate speech.

      Others said thank you - for asking tough questions & providing context to racial politics, an issue that couldn't be more important

      When I pitched this, I felt like it was an important time to hear from David Duke. Yes. He is a white supremacist. Yes. He is racist.

      But he already has a platform. He's running for public office in Louisiana, a state where race relations are at a critical juncture.

      And for that reason, I felt it imperative to hear HIS voice in THIS moment.

      What does it mean that this kind of candidate can run (and rank) in 2016? What does it mean that he is tying is campaign to Donald Trump?

      I wanted to be able to ask these questions -- and let millions of listeners ask them too. This is how I did it.

      You are welcome to disagree with me. Many do. But either way, I hope this interview made you think.

      Thanks for sharing, Alyssa. It's interesting (and worthwhile, I think) to hear your thoughts.
