Donald Trump has dinner with Kanye West then says rapper brought Holocaust denier along

Donald Trump appears to be trying to distance himself from a dinner with Kanye West in which the rapper brought three “unannounced” guests including a notorious Holocaust denier.

One of the guests was white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who was banned from YouTube for violating its hate speech policy.

Trump now says he knew “nothing about” the guests before they “unexpectedly showed up” at his Mar-a-Lago home. He also said the dinner was “quick and uneventful”.

In a video posted on his recently reinstated Twitter account тιтled “Mar-a-Lago Debrief”, West discussed the meeting describing Trump as ‘impressed’ with Fuentes.

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

The Israel Heritage Foundation, a US-based group founded by Holocaust survivors, said: “We the Israel Heritage Foundation condemn & ask former President Trump to apologize, for having dinner with people who are antisemitic, Jew haters & deny the holocaust!”

Posting on Trump’s own social media platform Truth Social, Trump wrote: “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. 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.”

Along with Holocaust revisionism, Nick Fuentes has been accused of peddling white supremacist beliefs. He attended the white-nationalist 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville which left one counter-protester ᴅᴇᴀᴅ.
