Less than two weeks after Donald Trump hosted antisemitic rapper Kanye
West and his white nationalist and Holocaust-denying pal Nick Fuentes at a Mar-a-Lago dinner, the former president said on Friday that Jewish leaders “should be ashamed of themselves” for their “lack of loyalty” to him.
“How quickly Jewish leaders forgot that I was the best, by far, president
for Israel,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after posting an op-ed from a far-right conspiracy theorist who said that Trump did more for Israel and
the “Jewish people than anyone in history.”
“This lack of loyalty to their greatest friends and allies is why large
numbers in Congress, and so many others, have stopped giving support to Israel,” he added in his first public comment to the Jewish community
since a deluge of criticism in the wake of the highly controversial
dinner.
Trump’s post was startling but not surprising, given his inflammatory
dinner with Ye and Fuentes and his pointed silence afterward about their antisemitism.
Ye’s Twitter account was restricted in October after he vowed in a tweet
that he was going “death con 3 on Jewish people.” Days after his dinner
with Trump, Ye told right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, “I like
Hitler” and “I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.” Yet Trump has
not condemned his remarks.
Ye’s Twitter account was again suspended earlier this month after he
posted a Star of David intertwined with a swastika.
Trump has only said of his dinner that Ye expressed no antisemitism while
they were dining. He claimed he had no idea who Fuentes was, though
witnesses said he praised him as they discussed issues.
