Don Lemon presses Trump-era official on Nick Fuentes dinner: ‘It sounds like you’re making excuses for him

Don Lemon grilled former President Trump’s deputy secretary of State on Monday about Trump’s recent dinner with antisemite Nick Fuentes.

Speaking on CNN This Morning, Lemon asked Len Khodorkovsky, a Jewish man who said he is a grandson of Holocaust survivors, if it was wrong for Trump to meet with the known white supremacist.

“From what I understand, President Trump said he didn’t know Nick Fuentes was coming, and Nick Fuentes himself, from what I understand, said President Trump had no idea who he was at the dinner,” Khodorkovsky said.

“So I — look, let’s just call Nick Fuentes for who he is: he’s an antisemite, he’s repulsive, his views are disgusting, and no one of any substance should give him any forum, it’s frankly beneath President Trump to meet with him.”

The New York Times and Axios both reported last week that Trump dined on Tuesday night with Fuentes and Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Trump this week blamed Ye, whom he called a “seriously troubled man, who just happens to be black,” for bringing Fuentes to Mar-a-Lago. He denied knowing who Fuentes was.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was asking me for advice concerning some of his difficulties, in particular having to do with his business. We also discussed, to a lesser extent, politics, where I told him he should definitely not run for President, “any voters you may have should vote for TRUMP.” Anyway, we got along great, he expressed no anti-Semitism, & I appreciated all of the nice things he said about me on “Tucker Carlson.” Why wouldn’t I agree to meet? Also, I didn’t know Nick Fuentes.
