Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has hit back at New York Magazine for an article disparaging MAGA supporters, highlighting his new project, a venue and space that rejects the ugliness of modernity and the left. It labeled young Trump supporters during President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration as “casually cruel.”
The article also discussed a new haute-cuisine bistro, Butterworth’s, of which Kassam is a part-owner. It is located just two blocks from the U.S. Congress.
Describing his vision for the venue on Stephen K. Bannon’s War Room show, Kassam said, “We’re running an operation here now on Capitol Hill, which is kind of the centerpiece of where a lot of these people who kind of want to reject the modernity, who want to reject the ugliness, are flocking to for their events, for their dinners.”
He stressed that the space is not meant to be exclusively right-wing but explained, “What we are trying to do is bring a little bit of beauty back, bring a little bit of truth, which is inexorably linked to beauty. And it’s working.”
Kassam noted that the front page was a win for MAGA, saying, “Yes, they’re insulting you, yes they’re biting their thumb at you, but that’s because they fear you. You should embrace it.”
