Asked about Donald Trump’s dinner meeting attended by Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist, Rep. Kevin McCarthy claimed the former president “came out four times and condemned him.” That’s not accurate. Trump had repeatedly said he didn’t know who Fuentes was, but he stopped short of condemning him or his ideas.

Trump, who has announced his candidacy to recapture the presidency, arranged a private dinner with Ye, the performer formerly known as Kanye West, at his Mar-a-Lago club two days before Thanksgiving. It was later revealed that Ye arrived with three guests, including Fuentes, who is described by the New York Times as “one of the country’s most prominent young white supremacists.” Ye has also drawn attention in recent weeks for antisemitic remarks.

The dinner meeting drew quick rebukes from Democrats and Republicans alike. In a press conference on Nov. 29, McCarthy, the House Republican leader, added his disapproval.

“I don’t think anybody should be spending any time with Nick Fuentes,” McCarthy said. “He has no place in this Republican Party. I think President Trump came out four times and condemned him, and didn’t know who he was.”

A reporter immediately responded, “Well, he just said he didn’t know who he was. He didn’t condemn him or his ideology.”
