"Appalled" McCarthy plans talk with Greene about white nationalist rally

His comments came after Greene and Arizona Representative Paul Gosar spoke at the America First Political Action Conference over the weekend conference in Florida. McConnell told journalist Jake Sherman, co-founder of Punchbowl News, that he planned on meeting with Greene this week. The House minority leader also called Greene’s participation in the rally “appalling and wrong.”

“Last week, I was just in Israel,” McCarthy said, according to Sherman. “When I come back, I see two colleagues who went and participated with a group that has a leader that many times gives antisemitic views and led a chant for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. For me it was appalling and wrong. And there’s no place in our party for any of this.”

The Orlando, Florida, conference was organized by Nick Fuentes, a right-wing media figure whom the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has labeled a white supremacist.
