Why … all of a sudden is the fact that trump met with another raging, right-wing crazy … news?
It’s not as if trump hadn’t invited Ted Nugent to the White House AFTER he’d said the following;
“Renegade right-winger Ted Nugent recently went on a vicious onstage rant in which he threatened the lives of Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Decked out in full-on camouflage hunting gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging, “Obama, he’s a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary,” he continued. “You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.” Nugent summed up his eloquent speech by screaming “freedom!””

And this;
“Mr. Nugent, who posed, capped in a camouflage cowboy hat, with a seated Mr. Trump in the Oval Office, was the subject of a 2012 Secret Service investigation after suggesting violence toward Mr. Obama during that year’s re-election campaign.
Not everyone was pleased with the visit.
“Ted Nugent, vile racist who called Obama a subhuman mongrel, feted by Donald Trump. Disgusting, disgraceful,” Norman Ornstein, a progressive political scientist, wrote in a Twitter message.”

What’s really different between that rhetoric and Nick Fuentes’s rants? Why wasn’t there more outrage over Ted Nugent’s visit to the White House?
Oh yeah, trump is now perceived as a loser and the right-wing powers-that-be want to dump him in favor of a more palatible, authoritarian creep and the MSM is happy to oblige.
Carry on NYT’s and WP … carry on.
