美国总统乔·拜登的发言人尖锐批评前总统唐纳德·特朗普与白人民族主义者尼克·富恩特斯共进晚餐在他的Mar-a-Lago俱乐部。
“偏执，仇恨和反犹太主义在美国绝对没有位置，包括在Mar-A-Lago。否认大屠杀是令人厌恶和危险的，必须予以强烈谴责，”白宫副新闻秘书安德鲁·贝茨在一份声明中说。
据美国广播公司此前报道，特朗普上周二在他的度假村接待说唱歌手兼设计师叶(原名坎耶·韦斯特)时会见了富恩特斯。
Fuentes有种族主义、性别歧视和反犹太主义言论的历史，包括他试图利用对大屠杀的讽刺性怀疑，并已在各大社交媒体平台被封杀。
周二的晚宴持续了大约两个小时，出席的有最近丢掉了几笔大生意的冯特斯、叶因为他自己的反犹太言论佛罗里达共和党政治特工凯伦·吉奥诺。
白宫对Mar-a-Lago晚宴的谴责增加了越来越多的批评者，包括一些共和党人。
前新泽西州长克里斯·克里斯蒂是川普以前的盟友，告诉纽约时报这是“唐纳德·特朗普严重缺乏判断力的又一个例子，加上他过去糟糕的判断力，使他成为2024年共和党站不住脚的大选候选人。”
特朗普的前国务卿迈克·蓬佩奥周六在推特上说“反犹太主义是一种癌症”，似乎与富恩特斯这样的人物保持距离。...在反对世界上最古老的偏见的斗争中，我们与犹太人民站在一起。”(他没有提到特朗普的名字。)
在一份声明中，共和党犹太联盟呼吁“所有政治领导人拒绝他们的仇恨信息，并拒绝会见”叶和富恩特斯。
反诽谤联盟的首席执行官乔纳森·格林布拉特说得更加直白。

“对于唐纳德·特朗普来说，与臭名昭著的白人至上主义者和顽固不化的顽固分子共进晚餐，我认为至少是澄清了。格林布拉特在美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)上说:“他试图让美国再次仇恨，并且可以说是我们见过的最没有歉意的白人民族主义总统竞选。”。
在一系列声明中，特朗普淡化了富恩特斯的参与，坚称在他们见面之前他不知道富恩特斯是谁，他不知道富恩特斯会加入这顿饭。
“上周，Kanye West打电话给我，让我去Mar-a-Lago吃晚饭。此后不久，他出人意料地和他的三个朋友一起出现，我对他们一无所知，”特朗普周五在一份声明中说。
在随后的一份声明中，他说，叶要求会见“非常需要的'建议'”，并带来了“三个人，其中两个我不知道。”
特朗普最近宣布他正在竞选总统2024年。叶在2020年的竞选中发起了自己的第三方竞选，他也声称自己将在2024年竞选。
晚宴上的一名消息人士此前告诉美国广播公司新闻，在会议期间，叶要求特朗普担任他的副总统。这位说唱歌手经常表示支持特朗普在总统办公室会见了他特朗普任总统期间。
在视频中在推特上发布叶说，当他和特朗普讨论政治时，他们的晚餐变得很热烈。他声称特朗普“对尼克·富恩特斯印象深刻。”
特朗普在社交媒体声明中表示，他和叶“相处得很好”，叶“没有表达反犹太主义。”
拜登没有对晚宴发表评论，但暗示他有强烈的感受。周六下午，他在马萨诸塞州海岸外的楠塔基特购物时被问到这个问题。
“你不会想听我怎么想的，”他回答道。
White House denounces Trump's dinner with white nationalist Nick Fuentes
A spokesman for President Joe Biden is sharply criticizing former President Donald Trumpfor having dinner with white nationalist Nick Fuentesat his Mar-a-Lago club last week.
"Bigotry, hate, and antisemitism have absolutely no place in America - including at Mar-A-Lago. Holocaust denial is repugnant and dangerous, and it must be forcefully condemned," White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement.
Trump met with Fuentes while hosting rapper and designer Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, at his resort last Tuesday, ABC News previously reported.
Fuentes has a history of racist, sexist and antisemitic comments, includingwhat he has tried to play off as ironic skepticism about the Holocaust, and has been banned on all major social media platforms.
Tuesday's dinner lasted about two hours and was attended by Fuentes, Ye -- who recently lost major business dealsover his own antisemitic remarks-- and Florida Republican political operative Karen Giorno.
The White House's denunciation of the Mar-a-Lago dinner adds to a growing chorus of critics, including some Republicans.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, an erstwhile Trump ally,told The New York Timesit was "another example of an awful lack of judgment from Donald Trump, which, combined with his past poor judgments, make him an untenable general election candidate for the Republican Party in 2024."
Trump's former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo seemingly distanced himself from figures like Fuentes when he tweeted on Saturday that "anti-Semitism is a cancer. ... We stand with the Jewish people in the fight against the world's oldest bigotry." (He didn't reference Trump by name.)
And in a statement, the Republican Jewish Coalition called on "all political leaders to reject their messages of hate and refuse to meet with" Ye and Fuentes.
Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, spoke even more bluntly.
"For Donald Trump to dine with notorious white supremacists and unrepentant bigots, I think at a minimum it's clarifying. He is trying to make America hate again and running arguably the most unapologetic white nationalist presidential campaign we've ever seen," Greenblatt said on CNN.
In a series of statements, Trump played down Fuentes' involvement, insisting he didn't know who Fuentes was before they met and that he was unaware Fuentes would be joining the meal.
"This past week, Kanye West called me to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Shortly thereafter, he unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about," Trump said in one statement on Friday.
In a subsequent statement, he said that Ye had asked for the meeting for "very much needed 'advice'" and brought "3 people, two of which I didn't know."
Trump recently announcedhe is running for presidentin 2024. Ye, who launched a longshot third-party bid of his own in the 2020 race, has also claimed he is running in 2024.
A source at the dinner previously told ABC News that during the meeting, Ye asked Trump to be his vice president. The rapper has often voiced support for Trump andmet with him in the Oval Officewhile Trump was president.
In a videoreleased on Twitter, Ye said their dinner became heated when he and Trump discussed politics. He contended that Trump was "really impressed with Nick Fuentes."
In his social media statements, Trump said he and Ye "got along great" and that Ye "expressed no anti-Semitism."
Biden has refrained from commenting on the dinner but suggested he had strong feelings. He was asked about it while out shopping in Nantucket off the coast of Massachusetts on Saturday afternoon.
"You don't want to hear what I think," he replied.
