'Bonding over antisemitism': Outrage as Kanye West and Nick Fuentes head to Mar-a-Lago to meet Trump

'What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?' Kanye West posted, referring to Trump

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Kanye West was reportedly recently seen at Mar-a-Lago with avowed white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. The rapper sparked controversy in recent weeks with his antisemitic remarks. West and Fuentes, wearing sunglasses, were seen in a video walking through the Miami airport, said reports.

Politico’s national political correspondent Meridith McGraw tweeted on Wednesday evening, November 23, "According to a source, far-right extremist Nick Fuentes was spotted with Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago. West tweeted last night he met with Trump at the club. West and Fuentes were also seen together at Miami airport."

Nick Fuentes is the leader of what is known as the Groyper Army. He holds an annual white nationalist conference as counter-programming to CPAC. It remains unclear what he did at Mar-a-Lago or if Donald Trump and his staff were even aware he was there. West, however, took to Twitter to claim he met the former president. 

"First time at Mar-a-Lago Rain and traffic Can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting And I had on jeans Yikes What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?" West wrote.

West and Fuentes' video sparked frenzy on social media, with some users expressing their doubts over whether the person accompanying West was actually Fuentes. MEAWW could not independently verify the information. One user said, "So Trump invited Actual nazi Nick Fuentes and antisemite Kanye West to Mar-a-lago All the conservatives who told me Trump is the best friend American Jews ever had should never say another freaking word Ever." Another said, "Well they have a common group they hate..." Another person joked, "Nick/Ye union will make the world great again."

"It is so heartwarming to see a White supremacist and a Black man bond together over their antisemitism," one user said, while another wrote, "Maybe this is why Biden's granddaughter's wedding photos were not actually the important story of the week? Maybe it's that Holocaust deniers are welcome in Trump's home?" "Seriously do not care. They deserve each other," one user wrote.
