"We’ve known for a long time that he is a racist, and ‘go back to where you came from’ is peak racism,” said Tenold, the author of “Everything You Love Will Burn” who has embedded with white nationalists in his reporting.

Tenold said he has heard neo-Nazi leaders say Trump sometimes goes too far, and that they have alleged Trump is more racist than they are.

“I’ve been to Klan rallies where they’ve said these things," Tenold added. "I’ve heard a lot of the stuff that Trump is saying, that he believes, the policies he’s trying to implement, it’s been said to me at Nazi barbeques and Klan rallies. These are the things they want to happen.”

Trump has denied that his comments were racist, accusing Democrats of calling “their adversaries” racist “whenever confronted.”
