    Republican leaders denounce Trump's dinner with white nationalist Nick Fuentes


    November 29, 20224:26 PM ET
    DUSTIN JONES

    House and Senate Republicans are speaking out against former President Donald Trump's dinner last week with Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, and white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.

    "There is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday. "And anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgment, are highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States."

    Earlier in the day, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy denounced Fuentes, who is labeled as a white supremacist pundit and organizer by the Anti-Defamation League, in language similar to McConnell's,though he stopped short of condemning the former president.

    "I don't think anybody should be spending any time with Nick Fuentes. He has no place in this Republican Party," McCarthy said. "I think President Trump came out four times and condemned him and didn't know who he was."

    When a reporter pointed out to McCarthy that the former president only denied knowing Fuentes — not condemning his ideologies — McCarthy responded, "Well, I condemn his ideology, it has no place in society; at all."

    The former president dined with Ye and Fuentes at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida last Tuesday, where, according to Ye's official Twitter account, the rapper asked Trump to be his running mate for the 2024 presidential race.

    Trump, who recently announced his 2024 presidential bid, took to his social media platform Truth Social on Saturday to try and clear the record. He said in a post that Ye had requested the meeting for "advice concerning some of his difficulties," noting that he doesn't know Fuentes.

    He claimed he did not know Fuentes, but he cannot avoid knowing West who has been hanging around Trump and Republicans for a while.

    How could Trump possibly not know about Fuentes? Is he that intentionally ignorant being a past president?

    That Trump had nobody around him telling him that this was a real bad idea, or that he did, and ignored them and went ahead anyway, does not exactly offer a glimpse into the Trump organization that would inspire confidence.

      And Obama was close friends with an unrepentant domestic terrorist and was the member of a church run by a racist anti-American preacher.

      Of course nobody cared about that, so why should we care about Trump having dinner with Kanye West and the other fellow that I doubt most people have ever heard of and who was an uninvited guest that West brought along?

        It sounds like you do not care as in other threads.

          No, I'm asking you, if Obama's unsavory associations weren't a problem, then why should we care about Trump's?

            Your accusations are unfounded and gross extreme right exaggerations. When it is uncomfortable you try and dodge the subject.

            There is nothing possibly more extreme and horrific here than Fuentes White Supremacy and Holocaust denial and admiration of Hitler. Add Kanye West's Anti-sematism and admiration of Hitler. You choose to minimize it.

            There is also a ig problem of Kanye;s West close association with the Republican Party considering his anti-sematism and admiration of Hitler.

              But the fact Trump is once again chumming up to a white supremacist with the excuse he did na know who he was DOES give yet another glimpse into who Trump really is

                    Which is entirely conceivable in that very few people had ever heard of him until now. But that goes back to his staff. They should have vetted him before any meeting. Either they didn't bother, or they did, warned Trump, and he went ahead with the dinner any way. Neither instills much confidence in the Trump organization.

                      Translation, Mountain Man is correct.

                      Only those with TDS care about Trump's dinner. If anything, he just gave ammunition to be primaried. He shown a yuuuge spotlight on Fuentes and that will likely turn most Trumpers off. Unlike the the left, as you posted, Republicans will turn on Trump due to his association with a niche internet celebrity only known to the terminally online.

                        Changing the subject and minimizing is your modus operandi like Mountain Man when things get edgy and uncomfortable. The left has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.

                        You are joining the apologists of Trump and Kanye West, his extreme horrific antisemitism, love of Hitler and his relationship with the Republican Party. Trump being a past President should in no way be ignorant of Fuentes.

                          I heard something last night that even the majority of Fox News viewers want someone other than Trump.

                            He should be impeached. Again.

                              I would not be in the least surprised if Adam Schiff isn't floating a proposal for one promising to be done before the New Year.
