The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League said Donald Trump is trying to make America hate again after he admitted to having dinner with a white supremacist.
"For Donald Trump to dine with notorious white supremacists and unrepentant bigots is clarifying." The most unapologetic white nationalist presidential campaign we have ever seen is being run by him.
Trump hosted a dinner on Tuesday at his Mar-a-Lago resort with Ye, the rapper formerly known as West, whose professional empire has been upended by a series of recent antisemitic rants.
Trump distanced himself from Ye and insisted he didn't know who he was talking to. The dinner was supposed to be with Ye, according to Trump.
It doesn't make a difference that Trump claimed not to know the man.
When you can't demonstrate a basic knowledge of people in public life, it's unpresidential
Ye, who has been accused by former employees of praising Hitler and Nazis in business meetings, posted several videos on Thursday that claimed that Trump was really impressed with the man. According to The New York Times, Trump said at the dinner that he got him.
The congressman has close ties to key allies of the president. The lawmakers were criticized for speaking at a white nationalist conference.
The House committee investigated the attack on the U.S. Capitol in January of this year. Seven people were charged with federal crimes related to the insurrection.
