CNN's Don Lemon wouldn't stop until he got Trump's former Deputy Asst. Sec. of State to admit that Trump should not have had dinner with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes. pic.twitter.com/c2rJq0cT5i

Sen Susan Collins to @sahilkapur and me:

“I condemn white supremacy and anti-semitism. The president should never have had a meal or even a meeting with Nick Fuentes.”

Your article is about 3 people who have criticized Trump. The great majority of Republicans have said nothing.

Days later, we are still waiting to hear Republican leaders denounce ex-President's choice of dinner guests and renounce anti-Semitism.

Having tracked Fuentes for years, let me note this as a reporter: he is well-known inside the GOP. People can pretend otherwise but professionals who work in the party are highly aware of how his white supremacy and anti-Semitism influences some voters, esp on fringe platforms.

Looking for a single returning or new GOP House member who has condemned Trump for the Fuentes/Ye meeting. Anyone? Rank and file and leadership of course welcome. The wall to wall silence from the incoming majority is speaking volumes.

I believe Gov. Hutchinson is the FIRST current GOP officeholder to slam Trump for the West/Fuentes meeting — and he leaves office in January. https://t.co/VhaugzFk60

Republican lawmakers have largely remained silent in the wake of Trump's dinner with antisemitic rapper Ye and white nationalist Nick Fuentes, reviving a tactic they frequently relied on during his presidency. https://t.co/JEruHGyRMq

The Republican Jewish Coalition (@RJC) call themselves "a Republican voice in the Jewish community and a voice for American Jews in the GOP." Needless to say, they seem to have had nothing to say in response to this much-noted comment by their master and teacher, Donald J. Trump. pic.twitter.com/BGvG9vVPMO

For the non-Jews out there, I would say that American Jews really aren't crazy about it in general when non-Jews issue warnings or instructions about what we as a group ought to do or need to do. All the more so when it's so clearly a threat. But not just that.

Trump offered an ominous message Sunday morning, warning “U.S. Jews” to “get their act together” and be more appreciative—“before it is too late.” https://t.co/eDFKpMTLUe

Antisemitism falls from fascist movements like rain drops from the clouds.

The flow of antisemitism from the MAGA fascists was inevitable and inexorable. It is like gravity. It is innate and foundational to any right wing fascist movement built on lies and conspiracy theories.

Dear Republican Jews, once again: time to leave the cult. This is not new, and Trump has warned you before. My Dec 2021 @MSNBC essay "Trump Loves the Jews–Until He Doesn't" https://t.co/1Sz80DFBiS https://t.co/1c1DHYMKhG

Trump warns American Jews to "get their act together" and back him because of his support for Israel "before it's too late" — once again invoking tropes of dual loyalty, an antisemitic canard in and of itself https://t.co/yMWg3PWEaj

An interview excerpt between Trump and @barakravid has created a heated debate in the U.S., particularly in the Jewish community, over whether the former president and his comments are anti-Semitic. https://t.co/v9ETHWN41O

He acts like one. He talks like one. He schemes like one. So yes, Trump is an anti-semite. https://t.co/FepcFLiLFP

As a Jew, it’s so weird to me that people think trump is good for the jews. The people who hang out with the antisemites are never good for the jews. https://t.co/0qA9yrzsCv

Jewish heritage but last names can be deceiving. "Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. was raised in his mother’s Episcopalian faith and later stopped practicing religion. He and his wife, Gail Gregg, were married by a Presbyterian minister." https://t.co/TxjjpzC3A1 https://t.co/b1Ace6Li3y

Trump's issue is that he doesn't get much support from Jewish Americans who tend not to like him or his policies on most fronts. And he thinks he's entitled to their loyalty given his strong "support" for Israel. And then he just throws in the old school Anti-Semite stuff.

Trump's brand of pro-Israel anti-semitism is a fascinating development and the Israelis seem to love it but for me … yikes https://t.co/vGl1fK5IlT
