ICYMI: YE, formerly known as Kanye West, came out as an anti-Semitist and a fan of Hitler during an interview with Alex Jonas. In the interview, the “Famous” rapper defended the Nazi movement, praised the genocidal monster, and denied the Holocaust from ever happening.
As toxic and cancel-worthy Ye already is, people have found a brand-new reason to totally cancel the said personality by calling him out on social media.
“There are a LOT of things I LOVE about Hitler.”
That’s what Kanye said.
The scale of the anger and disgust I feel about this man is quite unreal. pic.twitter.com/6XqMQMH5F0

Kanye: “I like Hitler. Holocaust didn't happen. Hitler has lots of redeeming qualities.”
Anyone still wants to defend this scumbag?pic.twitter.com/DJVDGHw6tz

Are you ready for the Kanye West Challenge? Name one good thing about Hitler. I'll go first.
He went out with a bang.

Kanye is not funny or entertaining. Hitler is not a joking matter.
Hitler was a monster, the Holocaust happened, and anyone who praises this is either very mentally ill, evil, or both. pic.twitter.com/HEFBBgTLAC— Leslieoo7🎄 (@Leslieoo7) December 1, 2022
“I like Hitler… They did good things too, we've got to stop dissing the Nazis all the time," Kanye West said today on InfoWars.
Fuck that anti-Semitic asshole.

Wait so Kanye West said he liked Hitler while wearing a giant black sock over his head today? 👍🏻

Kanye West exemplifies how anti-zionism is antisemitism today.
"Obama is Jewish and killed Palestinians and Hitler didn't kill 6 million Jews."

"The Holocaust did happen, and WE ARE HAPPY FOR IT!"
In direct continuation of the words of the antisemitic Kanye West, African-Americans of the BHI were observed in Brooklyn New York speaking in favor of Hitler.

SNL themselves have also created an entire skit about the infamous interview by including this line, ‘Since when did Hitler come back? And why are his new fans black?’
“Kanye West said ‘I like Hitler,’ which is also the password he used to get into Mar-a-Lago.” #SNL

Which, to be honest, is quite surprising because if we can all recall, Hitler believed in what the Nazis called the ‘Aryan race’. This said race is essentially the white people, and the Nazis absolutely abhorred the existence of the Jews and those who do not fit the characteristics of the Aryan race.
With this in mind, however, did we ever see this coming? Did other people already foresee the signs of Ye exhibiting anti-Semitic tendencies from years ago? Yes, they absolutely did. Check out this video by Garfunkel and Oates titled, “Who Said It: Kanye or Hitler?”.
In their 13-year-old video (yes, 13), both Garfunkel and Oates (actresses Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci) quiz their audience by reading quotes and making them guess who said it—Adolf Hitler or Ye.
The folk and comedy duo included the following quotes into their roster of quiz questions:
“When a man is starving in the streets, he’s not thinking of bread and water, but of caviar and champagne.”
“I stand here as a revolutionary. It is a revolutionary against the revolution.”
“Nothing in life is promised except death”.
“I can design something for Obama to go to the club in.”
You can take your own guess on who said what.
If you’re still unconvinced with how unhinged Kanye West has been recently, Forbes has compiled every problematic thing he has said since October. To be honest, it’s quite unsettling and very concerning.
Bill Burr, another stand-up comedian, also poked fun on Kanye West’s anti-Semitism in a skit he did back in 2018.
Seeing all of this evidence and past comedy jokes become all the more relevant today, do you think we all missed these signs of Ye being a Hitler stan, or was it just concealed by his “genius” in the fields of music and fashion?
