Donald Trump rejected antisemitism. That doesn't necessarily mean MAGA will

Donald Trump has publicly condemned antisemitism, stating that antisemites should not have a place in his political movement. Despite these remarks, his history reveals a reluctance to fully disavow individuals with antisemitic views among his supporters, often responding with claims of ignorance when asked about specific figures.

The Make America Great Again movement does not always follow Trump's lead, and internal debates persist about whether to welcome openly antisemitic voices. Recent controversies, such as Trump's response to questions about Nick Fuentes and other far-right figures, highlight ongoing tensions within the movement.

Polls suggest that while most Republicans personally oppose antisemitism, a significant portion are either tolerant of antisemites or unsure about their place in the party. Trump's stance may not be enough to resolve these divisions, leaving questions about the future direction of his base.
