Vincent James, who currently serves as the treasurer of white nationalist Nick Fuentes' America First organization, seems pretty giddy over Fuentes having dinner with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, along with the equally unsavory rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. The problem with not taking the trash out is that it will get messier. It doesn't just go away on its own.

James spoke of the infamous dinner and noted Trump's refusal to condemn Fuentes. James signaled that it's a sign that if the one-term President was elected in 2024, Fuentes and others in the America First movement could be in a good position to play key roles in Lumpy's administration.

Via Right Wing Watch:

"[Trump is] still refusing—at this point right now that we're recording this—refusing to disavow Nick," James marveled. "Can you imagine if they keep this close to their vest? All of a sudden, Trump wins, gets elected, all of a sudden we find out Nick Fuentes is the new Stephen Miller, Nick Fuentes is the new adviser."

"What are you going to do about it?" he added. "It's his last term. He's not running for reelection, and we save the world, and we save the country. And then I'm brought in as something. Don't say it's far-fetched because look at what has happened. Look at what has happened over just the past week. Don't say I'm delusional. Don't say I'm dreaming because look at what happened over the past week. Clearly, anything is possible."

"We have, in fact, infiltrated the mainstream flank of the GOP," James gloated later in the broadcast. "Just look at what Tucker Carlson is talking about lately. … You can see which way the wind is blowing. The way that Tucker Carlson is talking right now is because the wind is blowing that direction. The way that Charlie Kirk is talking on Twitter, the way that Matt Walsh is talking on Twitter is because they see which way the wind is blowing."

James thinks it's a good sign that Trump hasn't disavowed Fuentes. Weirdly, he's right, but not in the way that he thinks. This will likely kill Trump's chances of ever regaining power again. Republicans are speaking out (finally) about Trump's choice of dinner guests. And it's not just Fuentes. Ye shouldn't be dining at former President's homes, either. He's a straight-up antisemite.
