‘Just a disaster’: Right-wing journalist reacts with horror to Trump’s reported meeting with Nick Fuentes - Raw Story - Celebrating 18 Years of Independent Journalism
his comes after Fuentes reportedly traveled to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club residence in Palm Beach, Florida for a meeting — after which pro-Trump rapper Kanye West claimed that Trump was “really impressed” with the far-right activist.

Fuentes first gained prominence after his participation in the 2017 white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which resulted in the murder of a counterprotester. He leads a movement known as the “Groyper Army,” an association of extremist internet trolls whose mission is to inject white nationalist ideology into the mainstream of political debate

Other than Byron York I read of no one in the GOP demanding that Trump disassociate himself from Nick Fuentes. Imagine if Rush Limbaugh had visited the campaign headquarters of Mitt Romney with David Duke and emerged declaring the two got along famously and Romney had nothing but good things to say about Duke.

In an interview with the Washington Post, one of Donald Trump’s former Surgeons General expressed frustration with the path his career has taken due to his ties to the former president that took place during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

As the report notes, Dr. Jerome Adams and his wife have pinned his struggles to find a landing spot commensurate with his experience on what they call they call the “Trump Effect” which is not abating now that the former president has launched a third run for the presidency.

According to the report, “It followed them from Washington to their home in the Indianapolis suburbs. They felt it when he was exploring jobs in academia, where he would receive polite rejections from university officials who worried that someone who served in the administration of the the former president would be badly received by their left-leaning student bodies. They felt it when corporations decided he was too tainted to employ.”

There’s only two choices for the people of Arizona. Kari Lake is either the winner and either a new process or get to file this process or if Hobbs signs her own certification on something that can’t be certified, she will never be considered a legitimate governor of Arizona," Bannon wheezed.
