Multiple media outlets reported on Friday that former President Donald Trump hosted a Holocaust denier at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
The former president's Florida mansion was where Ye talked about teaming up on the presidential ticket.
He wanted to go to Mar-a-Lago. Our dinner meeting was supposed to be only me and him, but he showed up with a guest that I had never met before. The meeting was confirmed by two news organizations.
In a post on Truth Social, the social-media platform that Trump launched last year, the former president said that Ye had arrived for a planned dinner with three of his friends. In his statement, the ex-president didn't say anything that would change his views on the subject.
The New York Times reported that the other attendee was Karen Giorno, Trump's Florida state director.
A person for Trump didn't reply immediately.
According to an unnamed source, Trump appeared to like the person. During their visit, Trump told Ye that he liked him. The source said that he got him.
Anti-Semitic and racist views are some of the things that Fuentes is known for. A neo-Nazi killed a counter-protester and injured 35 other people at the "Unite the Right" rally. The Anti-Defamation League has labeled him a white supremacist and the Justice Department has characterized him as a white supremacist.
In August of last year, Trump was criticized for saying there were "very fine people" at the white nationalist march in Virginia. He was criticized for not rejecting an endorsement by David Duke, a well-known white nationalist. When asked to condemn the Proud Boys, Trump told them to "stand back and stand by"
The visit to Mar-a-Lago has not been addressed on any of the social platforms that have hosted him.
Milo Yiannopoulos, a disgraced "alt-right" activist who appears to now be working on his campaign, is spoken to in a video labeled "Mar-a-Lago debrief" by Ye. Ye said that Trump was taken aback by Ye's suggestion that Trump sign on to be Ye's running mate, but that he was really impressed with Fuentes.
He is a loyalist, unlike many of the lawyers and people that he was left with on the campaign.
Ye, who has yet to file the necessary paperwork to become a presidential candidate, was blocked from using social media after making anti-Semitic statements. Adidas is looking into allegations that Ye behaved with employees in a way that was inappropriate.
Yiannopoulos made comments that appeared to condone pedophilia, and he resigned from the site. He called Islam and feminism "cancers" and called himself an "ex-gay"
On Wednesday, Ye and Fuentes were seen walking through an airport together. They were seen at Mar-a-Lago with one another.
This isn't the first time a prominent Republican has met with a man with racist views. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right Republican from Georgia, spoke at an event organized by a man she didn't know and later told reporters she wasn't familiar with his views
The congressman hired Yiannopoulos as an intern earlier this year.
