President Biden calls on 'political leaders' who have not strongly denounced antisemitism, saying that their 'silence is complicity.'
Trump has blamed Ye for bringing Fuentes to the dinner and tried to distance himself from both men, writing on his Truth Social platform that he had no idea who Fuentes was and that Ye is a"seriously troubled man."
Several potential 2024 rivals blasted Trump for their sit-down, including his own vice president, Mike Pence, who said the former president “demonstrated profoundly poor judgment.” “Trump was wrong to give a white nationalist, an antisemite and a Holocaust denier a seat at the table. And I think he should apologize for it and he should denounce those individuals and their hateful rhetoric without qualification,” Pence said Monday in an appearance on“I don’t believe Donald Trump is an antisemite. I don’t believe he is a racist or a bigot. I would not have been his vice president if he was,” Pence added.
Trump has not explicitly condemned antisemitism following his dinner with Ye and Fuentes, but in an interview with he said that if Fuentes had expressed his views at their"very quick dinner," it"wouldn't have been accepted."
