House and Senate Republicans are speaking out against former President Donald Trump's dinner last week with Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, and white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.
"There is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday. "And anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgment, are highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States."
Earlier in the day, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy denounced Fuentes, who is labeled as a white supremacist pundit and organizer by the Anti-Defamation League, in language similar to McConnell's, though he stopped short of condemning the former president.
"I don't think anybody should be spending any time with Nick Fuentes. He has no place in this Republican Party," McCarthy said. "I think President Trump came out four times and condemned him and didn't know who he was."
When a reporter pointed out to McCarthy that the former president only denied knowing Fuentes — not condemning his ideologies — McCarthy responded, "Well, I condemn his ideology, it has no place in society; at all."

Were he still President, they would be defending him. It hasn't been until his strength seems to be declining that they felt freer to do this

The Republicans finally got a pair! In the past, they exhibited behavior of a jellyfish, without a spine!

Some who are speaking out are some of the many who enabled his profound clinical pathology. Many are cowards and betray their Constitutional oath!

McConnell got his judges, so now he can turn against the person that gave him that?
Not very honorable, but then again, we are speaking about Republican politicians.
