Donald Trump has been criticized for having dinner with two people, one of which is a white supremacist.
The former president confirmed in a post on Truth Social that he hosted the pair at Mar-a-Lago. He said the rapper, now known as Ye, unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends.
Many members were present at the dinner on Tuesday. The dinner was easy to prepare. They went to the airport.
The two got along great, according to Trump. I appreciated all of the nice things he said about me on the show.
I would be willing to meet. He added that he didn't know the man. He was at the "Unite the Right" rally in Virginia.
Ye's net worth plummeted after Adidas cut ties with him for his offensive comments. He plans to go to Death con 3 on Jewish people.
The Justice Department has labeled a person. The Anti-Defamation League says that Fuentes compared Jews burnt in concentration camps to cookies in an oven.
Ye said in the video that Trump was impressed with Nick. He said he asked Trump to be his vice president.
The meeting has been criticized by Trump. The executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), without naming Trump, told the Washington Post that he strongly condemns the antisemitism of West and Fuentes and called on all political leaders to reject their messages of hate.
The New York Times quoted Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL, as saying, "Nick Fuentes is one of the most prominent and unapologetic antisemites in the country." The idea that any serious contender for higher office would be willing to meet with the man is appalling.
Chris Christie, the former governor of New Jersey and onetime Republican presidential candidate, wrote a letter about the meeting.
David Friedman is a friend of Donald Trump. Even a social visit from an antisemite is not acceptable.
Max Miller, a former Trump aide who received an endorsement from Trump and is now a congressman-elect in Ohio, said that the brand of hate of the man has no place in public discourse.
The Washington Post reported that one of Trump's advisers described the meeting with Ye and Fuentes as horrible.
An adviser for the Trump campaign described the situation as a nightmare, according to NBC. The adviser said that if people are looking at Ron DeSantis to run against Trump, this is another reason.
