On Friday, infamous white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes was removed after attempting to attend 2023's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
“His racist rhetoric and actions are not consistent with the mission of CPAC.” Chairman Matt Schlapp tweeted after the incident.
In November, Fuentes attended a dinner at former President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago estate alongside the rapper Ye- formerly known as Kanye West.
Fuentes, a well-known online streamer has frequently come under fire for spouting anti-Semitic and white nationalist propaganda.
Trump responded to criticism by saying Fuentes was never invited to the dinner. (RELATED: Trump Responds After Having Dinner With White Nationalist, Holocaust Denier Nick Fuentes)
“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 said.
Breitbart‘s Jerome Hudson and Matthew Boyle continue with additional information from former Trump aide Karen Giorno, who was also in attendance at the dinner:
“Nick attended the dinner and sat across from the president. I sat to the president's right and Ye to his left,” Giorno said in a statement to podcaster Tim Poole's website Timcast. “The president was by himself for dinner but invited Ye to meet some people on the patio.”
Cassandra Fairbanks, the author of the article on Timcast that quotes Giorno–who is now working for West's 2024 campaign after having worked for Trump in 2016–and Yiannopoulos adds in a later sentence citing Yiannopoulos on record confirming the presence of Fuentes at the dinner with Trump: “Though Trump allegedly flew off the handle at Ye, he was ‘dazzled' by Fuentes, Yiannopoulos told Timcast.”

These latest revelations turn what could have been a minor story into a major national narrative, where the GOP frontrunner for president in 2024 — the former president and as of now the only formal GOP candidate for the office in the next election — seems to have met with an open white nationalist, antisemite, and Holocaust denier in Fuentes. Fuentes' now-shut-down YouTube page is shot-through with racist and antisemitic rants that date as far back as 2014.
Fuentes said his existence is “absolutely” harmed by Jewish people. In 2019, a clip emerged of Fuentes denying the Holocaust. Fuentes has called Donald Trump disavowing white supremacy “totally wrong and a big mistake.” Fuentes was also at the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally in 2017.
CPAC attendees who witnessed Fuentes's removal noted that numerous hecklers called him names as he was escorted from the Gaylord Hotel in National Harbor, MD.
Warning: graphic language.
Fuentes was also reportedly removed from his hotel room.
