House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy said the White nationalist Nick Fuentes’ ideology is unwelcome in the GOP after President Donald Trump hosted the far-right provocateur at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida last week.
Mr. McCarthy was pressed over the Mar-a-Lago confab on Tuesday after President Biden’s White House meeting with congressional leaders.
“I don’t think anybody should be spending any time with Nick Fuentes,” Mr. McCarthy said. “He has no place in this Republican Party.”
The presumptive House speaker from California went on to say he buys Mr. Trump’s explanation that Mr. Fuentes showed up uninvited.
