Bannon questioned why Trump’s team would allow the meeting, which was described as a “trolling operation,” to take place as Trump faces mounting backlash.
Steve Bannon called out Donald Trump’s staff for allowing the recent dinner between rapper Kanye West and white nationalist Nick Fuentes to take place at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
Trump, who earlier this month announced his 2024 presidential bid, continues facing rebuke for the dinner with Fuentes, a Holocaust denier, and West, who has recently made several antisemitic remarks online where he said he would go “death con 3” on the Jewish population. However, the former president has defended the meeting, saying he did not know who Fuentes was.
“Did the staff think that this was a good idea?” he asked, describing the dinner, in which West, who legally changed his name to Ye last year, offered Trump a spot as his running mate on his own presidential run as a “trolling operation.
