Concerned GOP Sens. Bill Cassidy & Susan Collins condemn Trump for dinner with racist antisemites

Former President Donald Trump is facing criticism from senators in his own party after dining with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes — both of whom have a history of spewing anti-Semitic rhetoric — at Mar-a-Lago this month.

So far, it's coming from two Republicans who have a history of breaking with Trump.

"President Trump hosting racist antisemites for dinner encourages other racist antisemites," wrote Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana on Twitter. "These attitudes are immoral and should not be entertained. This is not the Republican Party."

"I condemn white supremacy and anti-semitism," Sen. Susan Collins of Maine told NBC reporters Sahil Kapur and Frank Thorp. "The president should never have had a meal or even a meeting with Nick Fuentes."

to jump in a lifeboat and flee the Trumptanic.

But no, they'll stay on board until it is too late and go down with the ship. In the long run, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger could end up in good shape politically.

Because if the GOP lets Trump be their 2024 nominee, he will have learned his lessons and will finally pivot and start acting presidential and the Republican party will enter a glorious new era.
