Asa Hutchinson, the Republican governor from Arkansas did not mince words after it was revealed that Trump had dinner with Kanye West, and Holocaust denier neo-nazi Nick Fuentes at Mar-A-Lago.
Kanye, or Ye as he is now known, has been enmeshed in an anti-Semitic controversy and should not have been invited to dinner with any former or sitting president.
CNN's Dana Bash asked the governor to respond after knowing Hutchinson's history of prosecuting white supremacists.
"Well, I hope, someday, we won't have to be responding to what former President Trump has said or done," Hutchinson said. "In this instance, it's important to respond."
"And, as you mentioned, the last time I met with a white supremacist, it was in an armed standoff. I had a bulletproof vest on. We arrested them, prosecuted them, sent them to prison. And so, no, I don't think it's a good idea for a leader that is setting an example for the country or the party to meet with an avowed racist or anti-Semite," he said.
