On Friday, infamous white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes was removed after attempting to attend 2023's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
โHis racist rhetoric and actions are not consistent with the mission of CPAC.โ Chairman Matt Schlapp tweeted after the incident.
In November, Fuentes attended a dinner at former President Donald Trumpโs Mar-a-Lago estate alongside the rapper Ye- formerly known as Kanye West.
Fuentes, a well-known online streamer has frequently come under fire for spouting anti-Semitic and white nationalist propaganda.
Trump responded to criticism by saying Fuentes was never invited to the dinner. (RELATED: Trump Responds After Having Dinner With White Nationalist, Holocaust Denier Nick Fuentes)
โOur dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about,โ Trump said.
Breitbartโs Jerome Hudson and Matthew Boyle continue with additional information from former Trump aide Karen Giorno, who was also in attendance at the dinner:
โNick attended the dinner and sat across from the president. I sat to the president's right and Ye to his left,โ Giornoย saidย in a statement to podcaster Tim Poole's website Timcast. โThe president was by himself for dinner but invited Ye to meet some people on the patio.โ
Cassandra Fairbanks, the author of the article on Timcast that quotes Giornoโwho is now working for West's 2024 campaign after having worked for Trump in 2016โandย Yiannopoulos adds in a later sentence citingย Yiannopoulos on record confirming the presence of Fuentes at the dinner with Trump: โThough Trump allegedly flew off the handle at Ye, he was โdazzled' by Fuentes, Yiannopoulos told Timcast.โ

These latest revelations turn what could have been a minor story into a major national narrative, where the GOP frontrunner for president in 2024 โ the former president and as of now the only formal GOP candidate for the office in the next election โ seems to have met with an open white nationalist, antisemite, and Holocaust denier in Fuentes. Fuentes' now-shut-down YouTube page is shot-through with racist and antisemitic rants that date as far back as 2014.
Fuentes said his existence is โabsolutelyโ harmed by Jewish people. In 2019,ย a clip emergedย of Fuentes denying the Holocaust. Fuentes hasย calledย Donald Trump disavowingย white supremacyย โtotally wrong and a big mistake.โ Fuentesย was also atย the Charlottesville โUnite the Rightโ rally in 2017.
CPAC attendees who witnessed Fuentes's removal noted that numerous hecklers called him names as he was escorted from the Gaylord Hotel in National Harbor, MD.
Warning: graphic language.
Fuentes was also reportedly removed from his hotel room.
