Trump's Latest Dinner Guest: Nick Fuentes, White Supremacist

Source: NYT

Former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday night had dinner with Nick Fuentes, an outspoken antisemite and racist who is one of the country’s most prominent young white supremacists, at Mr. Trump’s private club in Florida, advisers to Mr. Trump conceded on Friday.

Also at the dinner was the performer Kanye West, who has also been condemned for making antisemitic statements. Mr. West traveled to meet with Mr. Trump at the club, Mar-a-Lago, and brought Mr. Fuentes along, the advisers said.

The fourth attendee at the four-person dinner, Karen Giorno — a veteran political operative who worked on Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign as his state director in Florida — also confirmed that Mr. Fuentes was there. Attempts to reach Mr. Fuentes through an intermediary on Friday were unsuccessful.

In recent years, Mr. Fuentes, 24, has developed a high profile on the far right and forged ties with such Republican lawmakers as Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona, largely through his leadership of an annual white-supremacist event called the America First Political Action Conference. A Holocaust denier and unabashed racist, Mr. Fuentes openly uses hateful language on his podcast, in recent weeks calling for the military to be sent into Black neighborhoods and demanding that Jews leave the country. /snip

How many? No one knows. But a well known, outspoken ..."antisemite and racist and one of the country's most prominent
young white supremacists.." is not good. This one shows what he really is, as opposed to what he is trying to imply, that
he is on side of "moderates" and "middle of the roaders", Trump is really on the side of the Right Wing Mafia..
...Trump assumes if he gets the nomination, he will have "moderate Republicans on his side." But, if he relies on the Far
Right, then he won't be seen as "moderate" and there will be a ..."Moderate Republican" opposed to him when the
election comes.
....Or, ..."Moderate Republicans" of all stripes will support the Democrat, Joe Biden, or whoever it might be.

...The above is just an "opinion." Time to hide again

From the story:

“This is just another example of an awful lack of judgment from Donald Trump, which, combined with his past poor judgments, make him an untenable general election candidate for the Republican Party in 2024,” said Chris Christie, a former governor of New Jersey who is considering a candidacy of his own.


Wonder how many Republican nitwits will listen to that.

Wouldn’t considering your race Supreme and constantly caterwauling about it be a big sign of low self esteem? I would name the nickster but there are way too many low self esteem supremacists to point to only one. That would be rude. And the last thing this old white guy wants to be is rude to excrement.

The weird time Nazis made common cause with black nationalists
The black nationalist Nation of Islam and the American Nazi Party didn't have a lot in common, but they did believe in staying as far away from each other's race as possible

Because black separatists and white separatists have the same goals. Which has led to some weird alliances, like the American Nazi party and the Nation of Islam.

MEN HAVING SEX WITH WOMEN IS GAY, CLAIMS ‘STRAIGHT’ RIGHT-WING PODCASTER NICK FUENTES

Fuentes identifies himself as an “incel” – an online subculture , mainly among white men, who say they are unable to find a sexual partner. Earlier this month America First’s treasurer Jaden McNeil found a girlfriend, moved out of Fuentes’s basement lair and denounced the group as a cult.

This seemed to infuriate Fuentes and send him off the rails. In a recent video podcast, Fuentes took issue with the fact that people consider him gay as he has never had a girlfriend. “Some people call me gay because I’ve never had a girlfriend. I think, if anything, it makes me less gay. If anything, it makes me not gay,” Fuentes said.

The podcaster had some enlightening insights for his viewers – that gay people date girls. “Gay people do date girls all the time,” said Fuentes. He claimed that on Twitter “all these gay people are coming out and saying, ‘I’ve had more girlfriends than Nick. I’ve had sex with more girls than Nick’.
The Straightest Heterosexual

Fuentes said that was proof that gay men were dating girls. “Not only is that thinking (that he is gay because he doesn’t have a gilrfriend) flawed, but actually it’s the reverse. That actually makes me really more heterosexual,” the podcaster claimed.

“If we’re really being honest, never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman really makes you more heterosexual because honestly, dating women is gay. (Men) having sex with women is gay. And having sex with men is gay and it’s really all gay.”

Fuentes further claimed that “the only really straight heterosexual position is to actualy ‘incel’… What’s gayer than being ‘i like cuddles, I need kisses'”.
