Mediaite reports:
Kevin McCarthy denounced Trump’s bombshell Mar-a-Lago dinner with anti-Semitism-spouting Kanye West seconds after saying meeting Ye was within bounds but white supremacist Nick Fuentes was unacceptable. McCarthy got caught falsely claiming Trump had denounced Fuentes. Minutes later, McCarthy was asked about West again, and said Trump “could have meetings with who he wants” but not with Fuentes — only to reverse himself seconds later when West’s views were pointed out to him.
