Susan Collins: Trump should have never met with Fuentes
Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), a prominent Senate centrist Republican, said Monday that former President Trump should never had a meal or a meeting with Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist organizer and podcaster.
“I condemn white supremacy and anti-Semitism. The president should never have had a meal or even a meeting with Nick Fuentes,” Collins told reporters when asked about a dinner he had with Fuentes and Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, at Mar-a-Lago before Thanksgiving.
The Anti-Defamation League reports that Fuentes and his followers support closing U.S. borders to immigrants and opposes feminism and LGBTQ+ rights as the “bastardized Jewish subversion of the American creed.”
The ADL also points out that Fuentes attended the white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social, his social media platform, that West asked him to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago and “unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about,” referring to Fuentes.
West later claimed that Trump was “really impressed” with Fuentes.
Collins made her comments shortly after fellow Republican centrist Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) ripped Trump for hosting Fuentes at his table.
“President Trump hosting racist anti-Semites for dinner encourages other racist anti-Semites. These attitudes are immoral and should not be entertained. This is not the Republican Party,” Cassidy tweeted Monday.
