Axios reports that, when Kanye dined at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump, he didn’t come alone. Instead, he brought with him Nick Fuentes, an openly antisemitic, Holocaust-denying, possible White supremacist. When word got out, Trump’s spokesman offered a very weak excuse, which is that Trump didn’t invite Fuentes. Inquiring minds want to know two things: Why didn’t Trump bar Fuentes and why is Kanye (who last I looked was still Black) hanging with a White supremacist? The whole thing is bizarre.

Here’s what Axios had to say:

Former President Trump dined and conversed with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Tuesday night, according to two sources familiar with the matter.


Why it matters: Trump’s direct engagement with a man labeled a “white supremacist” by the Justice Department, one week after declaring his 2024 candidacy, is likely to draw renewed outrage over the former president’s embrace of extremists.


  • 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.
