McConnell said anyone meeting with people who have anti-semitic or white supremacist views “in my judgement, are highly unlikely to ever be elected President.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that there is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy, and that anyone “meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgement, are highly unlikely to ever be elected President.”
Though McConnell did not mention him by name in a brief press conference clip that was circulating on Twitter Tuesday afternoon, his comments appeared to reference former President Donald Trump. Trump recently met with rapper Kanye West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, and Nick Fuentes at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
Ye has come under fire in recent months for writing on Twitter that he would go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” comments that have been slammed as antisemitic.
