In a tweet Sunday, Shapiro mocked Trump’s excuse, claiming that he never heard of Fuentes. He tweeted: “A good way not to accidentally dine with a vile racist and anti-Semite you don’t know is not to dine with a vile racist and anti-Semite you do know.”

Activist Dov Hikind tweeted: “If @realDonaldTrump welcomes vicious & unrepentant antisemites like Kanye and his strange neo-Nazi bedfellow Nick Fuentes to Mar a Lago, we could expect more and worse if Trump were in the WH again! All that because they say nice things about the former president.”
Hikind also posted a video of himself passionately blasting Trump. “What does he do to endear himself to the American people? He sits down to dinner with two antisemites, two Jew-haters,” Hikind said.
He added, “Okay so he didn’t know who Fuentes was? So why didn’t Donald Trump say anything about this Holocaust denier afterward?”

Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of Shapiro’s “Daily Wire”, condemned Kanye on Twitter’ saying that him teaming up with Fuentes, as well as Milo Yiannopollous, eliminate any shred of doubt that Kanye is an antisemite.
He tweeted,”Teaming up with Milo and Fuentes puts to rest any “it doesn’t make you an antisemite just to criticize a Jewish person” defense of Ye. No, it doesn’t. And also Ye is an antisemite who just assembled an antisemite dream team. Tragic.”

No, it doesn’t. And also Ye is an antisemite who just assembled an antisemite dream team.
Tragic.

On Friday, former Trump ambassador to Israel David Friedman criticized Trump as well.
We need to pray to, and rely on, the King of kings, Almighty G-d, הקדוש ברוך הוא.
We should keep some distance from politics. We do not need to get involved in every single political brawl the media cooks up. We don’t need to issue statements on every issue in the media.
As it says in Tehillim (Hallel), טוב לחסות בה’ מבטוח באדם.
I dont understand why what hikind says is newsworthy.
What is Dov complaining about? This should bring in a few Sheqels. Conservative Shuls all over America are paying him to speak at their sisterhood luncheons.
It’s all in his best selling book, “Monetizing Antisemitism: There’s no business like Shoah business.”
Shapiro needs to explain why he doesn’t blast his employee , Candace Owens for her antisemitism .
And now you know how black America felt when he couldn’t cut ties with this crowd during the election.
You told them to get over it then, now YOU try to get over it…. not so easy huh.
The man is an opportunist, and powered by validation and ego. I voted for him both times, I think he did a fantastic job on round 1, especially covid, but he absolutely lost his mind during the 2nd election aftermath and he is just too unstable to be trusted anymore.
Move on, you don’t have to go full blown cancel culture and erase him. You can say that he was good then, but is no longer viable, because he and the situation have changed.
Lev Melachim B’Yad Hashem – Vote with the Hashem party, not Basar v’DUMB
It’s going to be very interesting how this affects Candace Owens’ employment at the Dauly Wire.
She still maintains that she is good friends with Kanye
We shouldn’t protest against a former president in public we should rather ask for an explanation in a private audience that’s the jewish way we are still in exile
Dov it must be very hard bring a nobody But truly firs anyone really care what he says. He certainly doesn’t speak for borough park
And the Democrats can support and munch with their own anti- Semites all day long. Enough of you two.
whole thing is being blown out of porportion, trumpty never head of fuentes and he is too stupid and too lazy to use google to look him up. Anyway, it’s his house and he can have anyone over that hat he wants. If someone can reincarnate Goebbels or Himmler or Goring (he never heard of them either) he is more than welcome to invite them over and kibbitz with them over dinner and drinks and offer them cabinet positions in 2024, free country. You don’t like it then don’t vote for him. Orange Face Donny has only ever heard of Mike Lindell and Jeffery Epstein. Trumpty Dumpty is just looking out for himself and absolutely no one else, as he has always done- you don’t like it then ignore him and and move on.
Meeting someone is in no way an endorsement , public figures meet and negotiate if you want to dump Trump fine don’t make frum tirutzim
I’m not a big fan of Mr. Hikind (and I’ve known him for over 45 years), but he is the epitome of DINO-L (Democrat In Name Only – Literally).
NYC politics being what it is, if you don’t run for office on the Democrat line, you have very little chance of winning an election. And very often he did NOT vote or caucus with the other Democrats.
Not worse than Bill Clinton chit chatting with farrakhan
It is extremely stupid for these Jews to be criticizing President Trump like this, Hikind’s comment in particular.
President Trump did tremendous good for Jews while he was in office, and could continue to do so if elected again. Again, Hikind’s comment is moronic.
These idiots are ignoring that we are in galus, and are also ignoring with whom they are dealing.
It’s one thing if he were to appoint a known Jew-hater as Secretary of Education. It’s quite another if he simply hosted these people for a private dinner.
Did it occur to any of these geniuses that maybe their impression of Jews might have improved after that dinner, given the prominent Jewish family member of President Trump?
Kanye West might be an anti Semite or might not. However, from his rant it does not show he is one. Think about it, sometimes if you are cut off in traffic and you see it was an Italian or a black person you shout some derogatory remark out of anger, but not out of hate. If you drive in Boro Park you most probably did it with a chossid who thinks he owns the road, because he drives a suburban and carries 4-6 beepers on each side of his belt. You might call him a Chasiddisher drek under your breath etc. It is the anger getting to you that caused you to say that remark, done as a knee jerk reaction, but not out of racisim.
Here, Kanye West had some beef with the producers or whoever he deals with and he lost his temper. He thought he is due alot of money etc. and looked to their race to lash out at them. More accurately, he is stupid or foolish to let these remarks get the better of him. However, If it was not due to a beef, it would no doubt be anti-semitism. We have to be carful how we scream – as crying wolf too many times is not going to help with the real time.
Why he did not sincerely apologize right away is a bit troubling, but it might be his arrogance that did not let him do it right away.
Are you guys insane? Are you nuts? Have you been hiding under a rock for the past 30 years? Dov Hikind a conservative? You’re crazy! Where have you been?
Hikind has ALWAYS been the leftist. He was a Democrat in office. He always voted with Democrats. The only time he ever heard anything out of him was when something happened where he felt it was a potch in punim, and suddenly he was running up to the nearest microphone and camera.
HIKIND IS NO CONSERVATIVE!
