During the course of conversation, he also addressed his penchant for making incendiary comments, accusing the media of taking his words out of context, or spreading outright lies.When asked about the biggest misconceptions spread by the media, Nugent mentioned his reputation as a racist and a homophobe.“Oh, I’m not a racist,” he said. “I’m not a homophobe.
