McConnell took the bait from the media and spoke out about a dinner guest most Americans have never heard of in Fuentes.
“First, let me just say that there is no room in the Republican Party for anti-Semitism or white supremacy,” McConnell told reportersunprompted.
“And anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgment, are highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States.”

McConnell’s statement was mind-numbingly idiotic. It’s a comment the media ate up and yet another indication that the top GOP senator is not smart enough to do battle with the Democrat-aligned media.McConnell: "There is no room in the Republican Party for anti-Semitism or white supremacy And anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view in my judgment are highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States.” pic.twitter.com/73gfsKjn8j

They say ‘jump’ and the Kentucky Republican, without skipping a beat, performs for their amusement like a circus monkey.
Trump responded in kind, pointing out that McConnell is a “loser.”
“Mitch is a loser for our nation and for the Republican Party who would not have been re-elected in Kentucky without my endorsement, which he begged me for because he was going down,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News.
Trump also reiterated in the interview that he did not know who Fuentes was, something he has previously insisted. Which would put him in the same company as 99.99% of the rest of America.EXCLUSIVE: Trump fires back at 'loser' McConnellhttps://t.co/SEMfz3Xqz0

“I had never heard of the man — I had no idea what his views were, and they weren’t expressed at the table in our very quick dinner, or it wouldn’t have been accepted,” he said.
McConnell isn’t the first prominent Republican to do the work of the media and Democrats in attacking Trump.So am I supposed to be more angry at Donald Trump for having dinner with Nick Fuentes than I am with Joe Biden for delivering the eulogy for the Grand Wizard of the KKK?

I don’t think Trump knew anything about Nick, but I damn sure know Biden knew that Grand Wiz!
Earlier this week, former Vice President Mike Pence said Trump should apologize.
“President Trump was wrong to give a white nationalist, an anti-semite and a Holocaust denier a seat at the table and I think he should apologize for it and he should denounce those individuals and their hateful rhetoric, without qualification,” Pence said.
Of course, Pence and McConnell are simply acting like trained seals for the leftist media. Or they sense Trump is vulnerable right now following the midterms and are pouncing.Former Vice-President #Pence (and presidential hopeful) distancing himself from his former boss #Trump after The Donald had diner with rapper Ye (known as Kanye West) and white supremacist Nick Fuentes. #MSNBC #MorningJoe pic.twitter.com/pU9eRffe59

Either way, their posturing is little more than, as American Greatness writer Julie Kelly contends, the “dumbest performative politics.”
