Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) spoke out against former President Donald Trump’s recent meeting with known anti-Semites, including one who is a Holocaust denier.

The remarks from the two leaders come after Trump hosted rapper Kanye “Ye” West, who has gone on multiple anti-Semitic tirades in recent months, last week for dinner at Mar-a-Lago. West brought white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes to the meeting and, according to West, Trump was “really impressed with Nick Fuentes.”

Trump has since issued several statements on the matter, claiming that he did not know who Fuentes was at the time, but he did not condemn Fuentes’ views, which the media has asked Republicans about in recent days.

“I don’t think anybody should be spending any time with Nick Fuentes,” McCarthy said in giving a forceful denouncement of Fuentes. “He has no place in this Republican Party.”

McCarthy noted the multiple statements that Trump has released on the matter and mistakenly said that Trump had condemned Fuentes’ views.

When a reporter had pointed out that Trump has not condemned Fuentes’ views, McCarthy responded, “Well I condemn his ideology, it has no place in society at all.”

McConnell responded to the dinner by telling the media Tuesday afternoon, “There is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy.”

“And anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgment, are highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States,” McConnell added.

Trump responded to McConnell’s remarks in an interview with Fox News by calling him “a loser for our nation and for the Republican Party.”

“I had never heard of the man — I had no idea what his views were, and they weren’t expressed at the table in our very quick dinner, or it wouldn’t have been accepted,” Trump said.

Trump said Democrats should “condemn Antifa.”

While Trump said that he wouldn’t have “accepted” Fuentes’ views, he did not explicitly condemn his views anywhere in the article and it’s not clear based on the article whether he was even asked if he condemned Fuentes’ views.

Trump did, however, tout his strong pro-Israel policies during his time as president.

“Nobody has to prove or be defensive of me and Israel,” Trump told said. “They have acknowledged that I’m the best friend and president to Israel. I gave them the embassy in Jerusalem.”

“From the historic Abraham Accords bringing peace to the Middle East, withdrawal from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, appointing a special envoy to combat the scourge of antisemitism, moving the American embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Israeli sovereignty in the Golan Heights, President Trump always has been and continues to be the closest friend and ally to the Jewish people and the state of Israel,” a Trump adviser added.

Twitter dropped its policies about COVID-19 misinformation last week, but no one noticed until now.

According to an update note posted on Twitter’s blog and “transparency report,” as of November 23, the platform is no longer enforcing policies it used to combat “misleading information” during the COVID pandemic. But there was no formal announcement of a policy change; news broke Tuesday when several conservative users posted screenshots of the updated policy. The policy change is the latest move in Elon Musk’s effort to reform Twitter into a “free speech” platform.

“Effective November 23, 2022, Twitter is no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy,” the note reads.

Conservatives shared screenshots of the updated policy Tuesday, and celebrated the change by posting facts about COVID-19 that were once deemed “misinformation” by Twitter.

“Finally. The truth is that almost everything @twitter labeled as covid misinformation ended up being true,” Outkick founder Clay Travis commented on a screenshot of the policy note.

“@elonmusk has officially put an end to Twitter’s medical censorship 👏,” technology researcher Dr. Eli David applauded.

“Jeez, now when the Biden Administration and CNN share Covid misinformation we’ll have no idea!” Rubin Report host Dave Rubin joked.

“[S]poiler: there was never Covid misinformation, just information Twitter agreed to censor,” Grabien founder Tom Elliott wrote.

“Now that Twitter stopped enforcing its COVID ‘misinformation’ policies, I can finally tell you that the vaccine doesn’t work, masks are useless, & the lockdowns did more harm than good,” conservative podcast host Steven Crowder commented. “Thank you for coming to my TED talk.”

“Now, that Twitter ended ‘Covid misinformation’ policies, let’s review the Experts™ misinformation,” journalist Kyle Becker tweeted. “1. 15 days to slow the spread 2. Masks work 3. Lockdowns work 4. Natural immunity is a myth 5. mRNA shots are vaccines 6. Covid shots stop transmission 7. ‘100% safe & effective.'”

According to CNN, between January 2020 and September 2022, the platform suspended more than 11,000 accounts and took down more than 100,000 individual posts for violating the misinformation policy. Notable users suspended included Republican Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, journalist Alex Berenson, mRNA vaccine researcher Dr. Robert Malone, cardiologist Dr. Peter McCollough, and former San Francisco Giants player Aubrey Huff.

The day after Twitter announced the policy change, CEO Elon Musk announced a blanket amnesty for users suspended from the platform. On November 23, Musk tweeted a poll asking whether or not to unban users that had been permanently suspended. “Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?” he wrote.

More than three million users voted in the poll, and the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of amnesty; nearly three-quarters of voters, 72.4%, voted “yes,” while just 27.6% voted “no.”

“The people have spoken,” Musk wrote after the poll concluded. “Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei.”

As of this week, Twitter has begun the process of reinstating some 62,000 accounts with more than 10,000 followers to platform, the Platformer newsletter reported. The identities of users were not available, but the list included one account with more than 5 million followers and 75 accounts with more than 1 million.
