Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned former President Trump for his dinner with Kanye West and white nationalist Nick Fuentes, saying anyone meeting with individuals with views of antisemitism or white supremacy is "highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States."

"There is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy," McConnell, R-Ky., 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."

McConnell was referring to Trump’s dinner last week with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago.


WHITE HOUSE SLAMS TRUMP'S DINNER WITH NICK FUENTES, SAYING BIGOTRY AND HATE HAVE 'NO PLACE IN AMERICA'

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Tuesday, also criticized the meeting.

"I don’t think anybody should be spending any time with Nick Fuentes," McCarthy said. "He has no place in this Republican Party."

McCarthy, though, seemingly defended Trump, saying he had come out "four times and condemned" Fuentes, adding that he "didn’t know who he was."

When pressed further on Fuentes, McCarthy said: "I condemn his ideology. It has no place in society."

Fuentes, a white nationalist, has a history of making racist remarks and engaging in Holocaust revisionism—though he has claimed that he does not deny the Holocaust.
Fuentes, meanwhile said on his show the dinner was "very interesting" and said that he didn't think Trump knew who he was.



"I don't think he knew that I was me, at the dinner, let's put it that way," he said. "I don't know if I'm going to say he didn't know me… I'm not sure about that, but certainly he didn't know I was me when I arrived at the dinner, and I didn't mean for my statements and my whole background to sort of become a public relations problem for the president."

People are tired of TRUMP bashing, period.

It worked out for Obama with Bill Ayers.

Realistically, what if Trump wanted to meet with them to see what makes them tick? So what?

Hell, this was just on the latest episode of Yellowstone. John Dutton just pardoned that environmentalist whore and named her as his environmental policy advisor.

Trump did this to himself.

I get that he's fine with pissing off the GOPe, but damn... why do this? I don't get it.


And before anyone downvotes, be a standup guy and explain it to me. What benefit did Trump think he'd get out of this meeting?

Ye? Fine. Don't care.
Milo? Sure, whatever.
Fuentez? C'mon. This guy is a nobody and shouldn't be within 100 miles of Trump. He's a lead anchor. There's ZERO upside for Trump.

Apparently they say bad things about Jews so you can't meet with them. That's the rules.

There should be no room in the Republican party for politicians who refuse to represent the party base and regularly give away everything to the opposition in exchange for nothing.

Fuentes just tagged along with Ye. Trump did not know who Fuentes was.
