Former President Donald Trump fired back at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday, calling him "a loser for our nation and for the Republican Party" while telling Fox News Digital that he did not know White nationalist Nick Fuentes, and had Fuentes expressed his views during their "very quick dinner," it "wouldn't have been accepted."
McConnell, R-Ky., on Tuesday condemned Trump for his dinner last week with Kanye West, aka Ye, and Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago, saying Trump is unlikely to be re-elected in 2024 due to the event.
"There is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism 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," McConnell said.
When asked to respond to McConnell's comments, Trump slammed the Senate GOP leader.
