“On this matter, on Kanye West and that other unacceptable guest, I think it’s not merely unacceptable it’s just wrong. And I hope he [Trump] sees his way to staying out of it and condemning it.
“I came out very strongly against that meeting with those anti-Semitic rantings, which in the case of at least one of the participants seemed to be something that is, how shall I say this, related to personalities probably more than views.
“But they’re bad enough either way. You don’t exculpate them. Whoever says it for whatever reason is wrong. You don’t praise Hitler. You don’t praise — how can you praise Hitler? Hitler was the greatest mass killer of all time.
“So anybody who praises him is wrong. Anybody who meets with him and gives legitimacy is wrong. And I’ve said it as much, and I’ll continue to say it.” – Benjamin Netanyau, when asked why Trump won’t condemn Nazis.
Todd: Would you like to see him as American president though. Is that good for Israel in your mind?
Netanyahu: “…I’ll deal with anyone, and I certainly will not step on that land mine that you just put before me, Chuck. Come on, I’ve been in this business long enough..”
