NBC News reports:
Yiannopoulos, a former Breitbart editor who was banned from Twitter in 2016 for inciting a racist campaign against the comedian Leslie Jones, told NBC News that he was “the architect” of the plan to have Fuentes travel with Ye in the hopes of slipping him into the dinner with Trump. The intent, according to Yiannopoulos, was for Fuentes to give Trump an unvarnished view of how a portion of his base views his candidacy.
“I wanted to show Trump the kind of talent that he’s missing out on by allowing his terrible handlers to dictate who he can and can’t hang out with,” Yiannopoulos told NBC News. And, Yiannopoulos said, he arranged the dinner “just to make Trump’s life miserable” because news of the dinner would leak and Trump would mishandle it. Fuentes echoed the sentiment: “I hate to say it but the chickens are coming home to roost.”

6/10 Yiannopoulos recruited Trump 2016 adviser Karen Giorno to chauffeur Ye & Fuentes to the dinner, but she said she only realized Fuentes ID on the ride, knew 0 about plans to confront Trump & became an accidental dinner guest

Fuentes was not on the list to get into Mar-a-Lago, but he got in because he was w/Ye & Giorno. She was on a prior list but only showed a credit card w/her name on it to get admitted (she misplaced her DL)https://t.co/Dq7yQBBsgL— Marc Caputo (@MarcACaputo) November 29, 2022

The issue of access to Trump —who chafes at being managed & gate-kept— is nothing newBut it proved deeply problematic here & the campaign is making adjustments
Still, the issue of Trump being Trump is unchangeablehttps://t.co/Dq7yQBkpeL
