A guest on Fox News brought up the fact that former President Donald Trump hosted White nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and Hitler apologist Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, and the panel got very defensive.

"I can only tell you what my former bosses who have met with him (Biden) publicly and privately say," Jonathan Kott said. "He takes meetings long into the night. He's on top of everything. He's very detail-oriented. He's never had a note card in any one of those meetings."

"And I will say this," he continued. "I would rather have a President who maybe has a stutter once in a while than one who spews conspiracy theory, racist nonsense, and has dinner with Nazis."

"So if given the choice between one or the other, I'm happy that Joe Biden might misspeak once in a while when he's trying to name a president of a foreign country," he said.

"Well, nobody has ever picked on him for his speech impediment, Harris Faulkner falsely said. "I mean, I have relatives who stutter. That's not the issue. It's the acuity issue."

Tammy Bruce got very defensive.

"Well, we just heard him call a number of Republicans, Nazis, and racists," Bruce said. "So I think we can put him in the category of willing to go there."

"I didn't call Republicans," Kott said. "Hold on. I didn't call Republicans Nazis. He had dinner with a Nazi."

"We're going to have to let you both go," Faulkner said.

"He had dinner with a Nazi," Kott reiterated.

Faulkner called it "desperation."

It's a fact that Trump hosted a dinner with raging misogynist and proud Nazi Nick Fuentes. And even if you can somehow overlook that with your moral compass, Kanye is a diehard anti-Semite. I wouldn't let either of those two repulsive creatures clean my toilet.
