Atlanta radio host Steve McCoy, who hosts News Radio 106.7 Morning Show with Steve McCoy and Cheryl White, said on his radio program on Tuesday and confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the Trump campaign wouldn't let him ask about specific policies during a brief interview.
"They said they wouldn't take questions about his policy because his policies, they weren't set in stone," McCoy told BuzzFeed News.
Before his interview with Trump aired, McCoy said on his program the Trump campaign restricted the interview to non-policy questions and reserved the right to nix any questions they didn't like.
"It came with some restrictions: I couldn't ask anything about his current policies," McCoy said. "And they had the right to x out any questions that I did ask and we got through about three minutes of it."
The Trump campaign did not return a request for comment.
After the interview, the conversation between McCoy and co-host Cheryl White turned to the Trump campaign refusing policy questions.
"So he wouldn't let you ask him anything about his platforms running for president," White said.
"No, cause he said those policies -- well he didn't say it his handlers said -- the policies aren't set in stone yet and I guess we can kind of understand that, they got a year to go," replied McCoy.
"I guess, you would think he would want to get his message out there but anyway great job," said White.
"Kind of fluffy, but that's what I got from them," McCoy added.
