There's very, very little support to be found (if any, really) on the American Right for Trump getting friendly with Kanye and having dinner with him and Fuentes. The "I don't know who he was" excuse seems to have worn way too thin - it certainly suggests a person who would be a security nightmare as a President (again.)
But the cowardice within the Republican party itself remains its defining feature - with most just declining to comment on it:
Republican lawmakers have largely remained silent in the wake of former President Trump's dinner with antisemitic rapper Ye and white nationalist Nick Fuentes, reviving a tactic they frequently relied on during his presidency.
Driving the news: Spokespeople for nearly two dozen House and Senate Republicans — including party leaders, co-chairs of caucuses and task forces focused on Judaism or antisemitism and sponsors of legislation to combat antisemitic hate crimes — did not respond to requests for comment.
Why it matters: The dynamic highlights the stranglehold Trump still has on the Republican Party outside a small group of vocal critics, even in the aftermath of poor performances by his handpicked candidates in the midterm elections.
What are Hannity and Carlson going to do about it? Ignore it, or try to provide some pathetic defence?

What will the Cat people do about it. I saw those reports and was thinking of posting it but the response is too predictable: an excuse to hurl abuse at anyone who posts something that upsets them or they'll just ignore it.
He did not know about the anti-semitism.
His cultits will believe this blatant lie and no republican will criticise him. That is how bad things are
