Trump silence on Fuentes deepens GOP rift | JQJO

President Donald Trump blasted several critics yet declined to rebuke Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson, praising the former Fox host after he interviewed the white nationalist without pushback. The stance widened intraparty tensions over antisemitism: Heritage Foundation’s president apologized but lost a trustee, activists urged stronger condemnation, and GOP leaders planned a Washington gathering to counter extremism. At the Republican Jewish Coalition summit, attendees denounced antisemitism as officials warned of an "undeclared civil war" on Israel and Jewish issues. Trump promoted his support for Israel and offered no criticism, saying "people have to decide."
