Will Donald Trump apologise for white supremacist dinner?

Calls for Donald Trump to apologise following a dinner with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes

Former Vice President Mike Pence is calling on Donald Trump to apologise following his dinner with rapper Kanye ‘Ye’ West and neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

Trump is facing serious backlash from within the GOP for his meeting with the two individuals.

Pence made the comments during an appearance on NewsNation and says the former President should denounce Fuentes, Ye and their hateful rhetoric.

“Trump was wrong to give a white nationalist, an antisemite and a Holocaust denier a seat at the table. I think he should apologize for it, and he should denounce those individuals and their hateful rhetoric without qualification.”

But when it comes to Trump himself, the former VP is adamant his former boss isn’t a racist or a bigot.

“With that being said … I don’t believe Donald Trump is an antisemite. I don’t believe he’s a racist or a bigot.

People often forget that the president’s daughter converted to Judaism, his son-in-law is a devout Jew, his grandchildren are Jewish.

And so the broad brush of attack that media leveled at him — I think the president demonstrated profoundly poor judgment in giving those individuals a seat at the table.”

Regardless, the comments are almost certainly the most prominent commendation of the former President by a top Republican to date.

In Arkansas, the state’s Governor has taken a similar stance.

Asa Hutchinson says there needs to be more voices like Pence calling out the former President.

Hutchinson believes the Republican party needs to ‘move beyond the Trump era’.

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.

The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”, which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran’s northwest.

“We are still hopeful but information coming from the crash site is very concerning,” the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending

Why Australia is becoming the new home of the Hollywood blockbuster

Published

on

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
