The Zionist Organization of America urged former President Donald Trump to live up to his strong comments and to strongly condemn both the “Jew-hater Kanye West and avowed Holocaust-denying, white supremacist, Jew-hater Nick Fuentes.”

The ZOA condemned the cordial supper Trump shared last week at his Mar-a-Lago home with “such vile antisemites.”

Trump’s “dining with Jew-haters helps legitimize and mainstream antisemitism and must be condemned by everyone,” the ZOA said in a statement on Sunday.

Trump claimed he did not know who Fuentes was. West now goes by Ye.

In addition, the ZOA called on President Joe Biden to condemn “Jew-haters Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, AOC [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], Betty McCollum, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Ayanna Pressley and others.”
