Neither Martin’s office nor a lawyer for Hale-Cusanelli commented Friday for this article, and Hale-Cusanelli did not respond to a request for comment. But in remarks published Thursday by the Forward, a Jewish publication, Martin apologized for praising Hale-Cusanelli as “an extraordinary man, and extraordinary leader” while presenting him with an honorary award from Martin’s nonprofit group on Aug. 14 at Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
“I’m sorry,” Martin told the Forward. “I denounce everything about what that guy said, everything about the way he talked, and all as I’ve now seen it … At the time, I didn’t know it.”
Six weeks before the awards ceremony, however, Martin interviewed Hale-Cusanelli about the allegations and defended him in a more than hour-long episode of his “Pro America Report” podcast, which he hosted from 2020 until early this year. A video of the episode was posted July 2 on a video-sharing platform called Rumble.
“In your case, they used your phone and took a photo and leaked a photo to say, ‘Ah, look … MAGA people are antisemitic,’” Martin said. “You had like a mustache shaved in such a way that you looked vaguely like Hitler and making jokes about it. Again, you know, not your best moment, but not illegal.”
Martin added that he knew of the allegations against Hale-Cusanelli close to when he was charged on Jan. 15, 2021. “When I think of this case, Tim, when it first was ongoing, I thought, wow, it’s almost impossible to, to sort of recover from that.”

Why are MAGAts so ashamed of being MAGAts?
Why are they so embarrassed by the things they watch and have read to them that they will gladly weather Blackvegetable's withering contempt rather than identify them?
You're in the Nazi bar of your own making, Ladies....and every night is Ladies Night.
But I'm sure you're impatient for the punchline...
Martin told the Forward he is advising Leo Terrell, head of a Trump Justice Department task force to combat antisemitism, and said he was behind the idea of visiting 10 universities for potential civil rights violations.
