Yes, that's right, Maggie, a virulent Holocaust-denying unapologetic antisemite has "denounced" Jews. Go as easy on him as you can, you crave access to and dinner with Trump as much as Kanye and Fuentes do.

Hi young journos! Fuentes is a white nationalist who is a strident racist and anti-Semite. How do we feel about this weak description by this journalist:
who has denounced Jews among other groups
. What could be the purpose of such a milquetoast description of him?
Maggie Haberman
Despite some apparent denials from someone around Trump, Fuentes -- who has denounced Jews among other groups -- was indeed at dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, people have confirmed to NYT https://yahoo.com/video/kanye-west-pals-holocaust-denier-044917405.html

paean to her guy Trump, but it's a read-between-the-lines thing..she's asking the reader to "understand" the deranged asshole...his mother was distant, his father controlling..poor depraved cruel crude amoral apathetic misogynist lying vengeful narcissist psychopath Donnie... so mommy/daddy issues are why he's one of the most reviled men on the planet?..uh huh
of course ol' Maggie is just an innocent baby duck..never mind she loathed Hillary, bashed her every chance she got, repackage her party buddy, a tv conman, and sold him as a serious candidate, someone who would "grow in office", and she knew he had a pathological need for praise and adulation so she wrote nice things about him, kissed his fat ass in print, and abracadabra, unfettered access...I can still see that photo of smiling Maggie in the Oval Office with that odious buffoon...
how nice Mags can confirm a trio of virulent antisemites shared a meal..is she pissed she didn't get invited?

(7,867 posts)Why exactly would you (or Haberman) think we needed her to weigh in to *really* confirm it for us?

(58,785 posts)But since I'm dragged down (and I was in finding out what this is about), I'll toss in my own wonder at Coniff's comment that slapping an American soldier gave him a whole new view of Gen. Patton.
At least I HOPE he was merely being sarcastic. It's raw meat for everyone who wants to use it to smear him, though. No one bothers to give Coniff the attention Haberman gets because he's small potatoes. (Yet here his trolling for attention shows up? )
Seriously, shouldn't this guy have the same responsibility as Haberman to use enough words to make sure people couldn't take anything but the exact meaning intended? Also to not use his little voice for opportunistic trashing to draw some Haberman attention to himself?
Btw, DOES Coniff know about Patton's implacable racism and antisemitism that were hard-core even for the 1940s? Patton could have been one of Hitler's generals except for an accident of birth.
Actually, I think both claiming that Coniff must have known that and that he didn't would risk libeling him. He laid himself open to his own brand of malice both directions.
Stupid stuff.
