Often called the father of conservative radio, Grant was an openly racist, sexist, far-right shock jock.2 On his WABC radio show, he referred to Blacks and Hispanics as “savages.”3 He believed them to be inferior, and he even once called Martin Luther King Jr. a “slimeball.”4 With his combative and testy style, he was considered a pioneer of the combat talk radio format. Soon, Grant became my dad’s commuting buddy.
