Is the Republican Party ready to move on from Trump?

Well, Trump just invited a holocaust denier and white nationalist to dinner and Republican leaders have said NOTHING

This source is wrong. Nick Fuentes in fact did have dinner with Trump and Kanye at Mar-a-Lago and spoke directly with the former president, per sources with direct knowledge. Story to come on @[email protected]. https://twitter.com/meridithmcgraw/status/1595630483899322368

“Daily Beast @ZTPetrizzo confirms Fuentes was spotted at the club and adds, “A source familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast that while West had dinner with Trump, Fuentes was not present.” https://t.co/Kv4FFpaBna”

The Republican Jewish Coalition released a statement that DOES NOT NAME TRUMP.

Incredible. https://twitter.com/maggienyt/status/1596183848081137664

Maggie Haberman on Twitter

“The Republican Jewish Coalition, which has condemned people meeting with Fuentes in the past: “We strongly condemn the virulent antisemitism of Kanye West and Nick Fuentes and call on all political leaders to reject their messages of hate and refuse to meet with them.””

I will update this thread with any prominent Republican that condemns Trump (by name). Let me know if you see anything.

UPDATE: Trump admits he had dinner with Fuentes. Both the idea that Trump was unfamiliar with Fuentes and that he was FORCED to have dinner with him because Kanye brought him along is not credible. https://twitter.com/jonathanvswan/status/1596195825700544516
Jonathan Swan on Twitter

“NEW: Statement from fmr President Trump in response to our story about his dinner w Ye and Fuentes: "Kanye West very much wanted to visit Mar-a-Lago. Our 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."”

Trump INNOCENTLY invited someone to dinner who recently pledged to go “death con 3” on the Jews and was shocked that he brought along another anti-Semite. Could happen to anyone.

UPDATE: Trump says his dinner with white supremacist Nick Fuentes was "quick and uneventful."
