Fox News' Tammy Bruce and Harris Faulkner took great offense on Monday after a guest pointed out that former President Donald Trump hosted a Nazi influencer for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Jonathan Kott, a former communications director and senior advisor to Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), appeared on the network to generally defend President Joe Biden's record and to contrast him with Trump, his likely opponent in the 2024 election.
"I would rather have a president who maybe has a stutter once in a while than one who spews conspiracy theories, racist nonsense, and has dinner with Nazis," he said. "So if given the choice between one of the other, I'm happy that Joe Biden might misspeak once in a while when he's trying to name a president of a foreign country."
Kott's remarks drew an angry response from Bruce, who accused him of casting aspersions on the entire Republican Party.
"We just heard him call a number of Republicans Nazis," she said.
"Hold on," Kott interjected. "I didn't call Republicans Nazis. He had dinner with a Nazi!"

Trump in late 2022 hosted prominent Nazi leader Nick Fuentes at his Mar-a-Lago resort, where he came as the guest of rapper Kanye West, who himself had threatened to go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE" just weeks before.
Trump would later claim that he had no knowledge of Fuentes before he came to Mar-a-Lago, but he also notably refused to disavow him and his ideology.
Regardless, Faulkner proceeded to give Kott a scolding.
"I had even said I had never seen you talk like that, and look, five seconds later, I was wrong," she said.
