Danielle Smith interviewed disgraced former UCP candidate Caylan Ford on March 29, 2019. Caylan Ford withdrew her candidacy on March 20, 2019 after messages she authored were released which revealed that Ford thought "white supremacist terrorists" are treated unfairly, and that she is "saddened by the demographic replacement of white peoples in their homelands" and "it's clear that it will not be a peaceful transition." The messages were authored two days after the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" white supremacist rally.
