Trump is reportedly “taken aback by the backlash” within the GOP to his decision to wine and dine Nick Fuentes and Ye.
— which is now pushing Ron DeSantis as the 2024 candidate — explained, he said that anyone who shared a dinner table with Ye and Fuentes was “highly unlikely” to be elected president in 2024.
Kevin McCarthy sat and squirmed for a week, trying to ignore the growing furor, before attempting to split the difference. He ended up condemning Fuentes, while claiming, with no evidence, that Trump himself had denounced his dinner guest. Such are the pretzel-twisting nonsenses, the humiliation rites, that McCarthy finds himself spouting in his undignified efforts to woo MAGA Congressmembers in order to secure the votes to be elected House speaker.
Ron DeSantis, himself no stranger to extremist stunts — witness his shocking exploitation of undocumented migrants whom he shipped from Texas, via Florida, to Martha’s Vineyard to prove a political point earlier this year — hasn’t said anything about the controversy. But the Florida governor who is shaping up to be Trump’s chief rival heading into primary season is, surely, chortling with glee at how Trump’s you-must-elect-me-again campaign is going.
