Trump Tries to Distance Himself from White Supremacist Nick Fuentes After Hosting Him for Dinner at Mar-a-Lago
By Zachary LeemanNov 25th, 2022

Former President Donald Trump seemingly confirmed reports he hosted white supremacist Nick Fuentes at his Mar-a-Lago property during a meeting with Kanye West.

West, now going by Ye, posted a video describing his meeting with Trump where he claimed he asked the former president to be his vice president — Trump officially announced he’s running for president in 2024, while Ye claims he’ll be throwing in on another independent run.

Trump provided a statement on Friday, which was posted by Axios reporter Jonathan Swan, responding to the Fuentes drama.

“Kanye West very much wanted to visit Mar-a-Lago. Our dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about,” Trump said.

The statement was in response to an Axis report on Fuentes meeting with the former president.

Axios reporters Swan and Zachary Basu reported:

Fuentes, who frequently promotes racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, had been spotted with Ye at Mar-a-Lago, but reports erroneously suggested he did not have dinner with the former president.

Trump posted a slightly longer statement to Truth Social, though he again did not specifically refer to Fuentes or the man’s past racist remarks. The former president claimed the Ye dinner was “quick and uneventful.”

“This past week, Kanye West called me to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Shortly thereafter, he unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about,” he posted. “We had dinner on Tuesday evening with many members present on the back patio. The dinner was quick and uneventful. They then left for the airport.”

Ye said in his video that Trump was “really impressed” with Fuentes and claimed tempers got hot.

“So Trump is really impressed with Nick Fuentes, and Nick Fuentes, unlike so many of the lawyers of so many people that he was left with on his 2020 campaign, he’s actually a loyalist,” the rapper said.

Ye and Trump have been friendly in the past, but the rapper was more critical than ever after their latest meeting. In his video recalling the interaction, Ye said Trump was angered by the rapper’s 2024 campaign and offer to be his vice president. Ye also said Trump ended the meeting by insulting the musician’s former wife and the mother of his children, Kim Kardashian.

Trump’s Big Lie charade is over. Politicians who helped him, meet the special counsel Jerry Lampen/Associated Press file photo Fri, November 25, 2022 What goes around I said many months ago that all the Republican senators and House members who voted not to certify the 2020 election and tried to swap electoral voters with fake ones should hire good defense attorneys. We all know it isn’t illegal to vote no on something. When you vote no and try to stop an official proceeding of the U.S. government based on a lie that lost every court hearing (60-plus) because of lack of proof, that is what is illegal: your intent. Now, to these lawmakers: Meet Jack Smith, special counsel for the Justice Department. He will likely indict everyone involved, which includes many of you. He was not appointed just because of Donald Trump. He was appointed because a lot of these elected officials are still in office. The conspiracy, co-conspirators and planners have been found. Now we get to watch Trump throw all of you under the bus, thinking it will save him. But it won’t. I must say, you deserve it. Thank God for the Constitution and the rule of law. Also, thanks to all the ethical and trustworthy government servants, elected and unelected Republicans, Democrats and independents who helped save America from dictatorship. news.yahoo.com

Even Breitbart is giving Trump bad press over his dinner with Holocaust denier Brad Reed November 25, 2022 [ Don't they know that the "Jews will not replace us" guy praised Trumpty and Dumbty desperately needs praise more than anything in the world. ] Even some of former President Donald Trump's most loyal media allies are giving him grief for his meeting with Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. Breitbart News, which in 2016 was one of the most pro-Trump news outlets in the right-wing media ecosystem, has published a story that looks critically at Trump's decision to host Fuentes at his Mar-a-Lago resort. "These latest revelations turn what could have been a minor story into a major national narrative, where the GOP frontrunner for president in 2024 — the former president and as of now the only formal GOP candidate for the office in the next election — seems to have met with an open white nationalist, antisemite, and Holocaust denier in Fuentes," Breitbart wrote in its report. "Fuentes’ now-shut-down YouTube page is shot-through with racist and antisemetic rants that date as far back as 2014." Even among far-right media influencers, Fuentes is particularly toxic figure. IN OTHER NEWS: Trump insider unnerved he'll 'sabotage' his 2024 campaign with impulsive new hires In addition to repeatedly calling the Holocaust a hoax, he has also called for a return to segregation and for taking away women's rights to vote. Fuentes also attended the notorious "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which featured torch-carrying neo-Nazis chanting, "Jews will not replace us." Fuentes was brought to Mar-a-Lago by rapper Kanye West, who himself has stirred outrage in recent months by spouting unabashed anti-Semitism. rawstory.com

Nick Fuentes is a 'nightmare' for Trump in his 2024 battle with DeSantis: longtime advisor

Bob Brigham
November 25, 2022

Donald Trump significantly harmed his position in his 2024 positioning against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by dining with Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and the rapper formerly known as Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago, a longtime advisor admitted on Friday.

On Friday, NBC News reported, "despite Trump’s suggestion the event was “uneventful,” the fallout over his dinner with Fuentes appears to have thrown Trump’s campaign into damage control mode. The former president took hours to respond publicly after multiple media outlets reported that Fuentes was present at the dinner. Even the two Trump advisers winced at how a Holocaust denier like Fuentes was able to wind up with Trump at dinner — even if it was by mistake — along with the rapper, who had just had his Twitter account restored but lost major endorsement deals for making anti-Semitic remarks."

The rapper said Trump was " really impressed" with Fuentes.

" I like this guy, he gets me," Trump also reportedly said.

One longtime Trump adviser described it as a "f*cking nightmare."

"If people are looking at DeSantis to run against Trump, here's another reason why," the advisor explained.

Another potential 2024 GOP hopeful, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on Friday the Fuentes scandal was disqualifying.\

Fuentes has said a number of controversial things, watch below or at this link:

@RightWingWatch

Christian fascist Nick Fuentes lays out his vision for America where contraception, fornication, homosexuality, and pornography are illegal and women can't go to school, or vote, and are burned at the stake for being witches: "We want to go back to the Middle Ages."

Nick Fuentes says the only hope for America is for there to be a "white uprising" that then disbands Congress and installs Trump as a dictator: "Elect Trump one more time and then stop having elections."
White nationalist Nick Fuentes encourages prayers for the brave Russian soldiers who are fighting to "liberate Ukraine from the Great Satan and from the evil empire in the world, which is the United States." White nationalist Nick Fuentes rejoices that in overturning Roe, the Supreme Court has laid out a blueprint for banning gay marriage, sodomy, and contraception and imposing "Catholic Taliban rule": "We're having something like Taliban rule in America, in a good way!"

White nationalist Nick Fuentes admits the election proves that "we are in the minority" and "that's why we need a dictatorship": "We need to take control of the media or take control of the government and force the people to believe what we believe." t.co

Upset that it's not socially acceptable to punch women, Nick Fuentes fumes that we need to go back "to the good old days" when men could go to the authorities and have women burned alive. Literally.

Nick Fuentes tells Jews to stop being so disrespectful and ungrateful and to shut up about the Holocaust: "I've heard enough about this Holocaust. I've heard enough about it. ... The real Holocaust was Jesus Christ being crucified."

Nick Fuentes defends Hitler as "a German statesman" while dismissing "the cartoonish, nonsensical narrative" around The Holocaust: "There were also death camps against the Germans. There were lots of camps. There were camps everywhere."

Nick Fuentes: "having sex with women is gay"

Real men don’t eat soybeans': How the 'weird right' is hijacking conservative think tanks

Alex Henderson, AlterNet
November 25, 2022

When the results of 2022 midterms came in on Election Night, one saw some patterns emerging. Democrats were performing much better than expected, and many of the Republicans who were defeating Democrats in statewide races in swing states tended to be traditional conservatives rather far-right hyper-MAGA conspiracy theorists.

Hyper-MAGA, ultra-Trumpian candidates, in fact, lost key gubernatorial races in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan, while many of the GOP governors who were reelected — Ohio’s Mike DeWine, Georgia’s Brian Kemp, New Hampshire’s Chris Sununu — were more traditional conservatives. One saw some ticket splitting in New Hampshire; Sununu was reelected by around 15 percent, while far-right MAGA conspiracy theorist Don Bolduc lost to incumbent Democratic Sen. Maggie Hasan by 9 percent.

DeWine and Sununu are often slammed as RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) by the MAGA crowd, but unlike Arizona’s Kari Lake, Michigan’s Tudor Dixon or Pennsylvania’s Doug Mastriano — Republican gubernatorial nominees who ran on ultra-MAGA platforms — they won. Conservative Washington Post opinion columnist Henry Olsen had a blunt comment in his November 22 column: “College-educated voters just aren’t into MAGA.”

But “weird” Republicans, The New Republic’s Graham Gallagher emphasizes in an article published on November 25, aren’t going away. In fact, they have achieved more and more prominence in the GOP and are making their presence felt in some right-wing think tanks such as the Claremont Institute.

“The ascendant weird right will likely struggle to sell its deeply anti-patriotic vision to many voters,” Gallagher explains. “In these segments of the mostly young, online-influenced American right, the optimistic vision espoused by Ronald Reagan’s ‘morning in America’ has been discarded. The elite educated right has moved even beyond the overt pessimism of Donald Trump’s ‘American carnage’ — now, disgust with equitable citizenship, personal liberty, and democratic self-governance is commonplace. Fed by an endless outrage cycle and a motivated and well-resourced donor class willing to pour money into increasingly reactionary think tanks like the avowedly anti-democratic Claremont Institute, right-wing thinkers and activists have begun to identify the foundational pillars of the United States itself with immorality and adopted a new fascination with medieval Catholicism and imported European extremisms.”

Gallagher points to “the right-wing embrace of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin” and former Rep. Allen West’s obsession with the Medieval Knights Templar as examples of how “bizarre” the “online weird right” can be. Others include beliefs that “real men don’t eat soybeans, seed oils are dangerous, meat substitutes will turn men into women and…. the best diet is all-meat.” And Gallagher cites some specific examples of how “weird” MAGA candidates could be in the 2022 midterms.

“Blake Masters and J.D. Vance — two Republican candidates for Senate funded in part by tech billionaire and new-right linchpin Peter Thiel — have embraced new-right ideas and actively courted the ‘weird right,’” Gallagher observes. “Vance has questioned whether women should leave violent marriages; Masters has praised domestic terrorist Theodore Kaczynski’s infamous manifesto, argued against legal access to contraception, and openly said that democracy is a smokescreen for the masses ‘stealing certain kinds of goods and redistributing them as they see fit.’ Americans on balance like democracy; legal contraception is almost universally popular; and Kaczynski’s unpopularity is so widely assumed that pollsters rarely ask about him. Masters, perhaps unsurprisingly, lost his bid to unseat Mark Kelly, and Vance badly underperformed in his blood-red home state.”
