1/ You might be wondering why a white supremacist like Nick Fuentes is hanging out with a Black guy, Ye (formerly known as Kanye).
Before he deleted a whole lot of his Telegram timeline this week, failed candidate @SenMastriano’s racist consultant Andrew Torba told us why 👇🏻

2/ Setting aside Nick Fuentes’ long time Kanye cosplay for a moment (you can Google that) — it’s about finding themselves a new version of Trump.
Ye is just this cycle’s useful idiot that these racist proponents of genocide can use to mainstream anti-Semitic rhetoric.

3/ Some of the media have gotten wise to the damage that’s done when they amplify Trump’s bigotry.
But Ye is “new” and his anti-Semitism seems “novel” and worth coverage.
Fuentes, Torba, and MTG’s piece of shit comms guy Milo want to amplify as much as they can.

4/ So, what does Ye offer the far-right?
A huge platform for earned media — potentially bigger than that of post-presidency Trump.
And after that MAL dinner, Trump recognizes that if he doesn’t show the neo-nazi part of his base a bigger platform, they’ll leave him.

5/ That’s why Trump won’t condemn Fuentes.
“I don’t even know him” is practically a complement to Fuentes.
It’s a recognition of Fuentes’ influence in the far right — it’s the same thing Trump said about infamous KKK shitbag David Duke.
