“In fact, I simply said that I did not clearly remember having approved it. But after a new reflection, I remember now that I approved it during a recent interview with Newsmax. And since then, I had other conversations with Paul Ingrassia, which only reinforced my support to have confirmed it.”

“He also clearly told me that he found Fuentes’ opinions on the Holocaust refusal and viciously and inappropriately condemning the Jewish state of odious and contemptible Israel”, “said Klein.

CNN also quoted Jonathan Burkan, a member appointed by Trump of the Holocaust Memorial Council, as another Jewish defender who does not support ungory.

But Burkan told Fox News Digital: “On a personal level, I know that Paul is a good man who is not an anti -Semitic or a denial of the holocaust.”

“I am confident on the basis of my conversations with him that he is a friend and an ally of the Jewish community, and all that is contrary is a vicious and disgusting smear against him.”
