Kanye West says 'I like Hitler' in antisemitic rant on Alex Jones show

Kanye West repeatedly praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler for doing "good things" in a shocking new antisemitic rant Thursday with far right-wing media host Alex Jones.
Inexplicably wearing a face mask over his entire head, the superstar rapper who last month met with former President Trump and white supremacist Nick Fuentes left little doubt how he feels about Jews.
"I see good things about Hitler," West said on Jones' "Infowars" show. "Jewish people are not going to tell me: 'You can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good.' I'm done with that."
"I like Hitler," West added.
West, who goes by the name "Ye," repeated the hateful canard that powerful Jews control the media, including the news and music industries.
"The Jewish media has made us feel like Nazis and Hitler have never offered us anything of value to the world," West said.
The rapper mimicked Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu by whipping out a butterfly net — and launching a shameful new salvo of hateful rhetoric about Jews.
Using a high-pitched voice to imitate Netanyahu, West said, "We have to control the history books, we have to control the banks, we have to kiill people."
The hatred spewed by West made Jones mostly sound reasonable in comparison, although the ight wing extremist smiled at his jokes and made some antisemitic remarks of his own.
"Most Jews are great people," said Jones. "[But] I agree there's a Jewish mafia."
Trump did not immediately respond to the shocking new outburst by West, whom he claims as a friend.
The former president and Republican 2024 presidential candidate has refused to apologize for inviting West and Fuentes to a private dinner two nights before Thanksgiving at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Trump claimed the dinner was fine because neither West nor Fuentes made any racist or antisemitic remarks to his face.

This was so insane I am starting to wonder if this whole schtick isnt a matrix like publicity stunt mind fuck.
West appeared on Jones show with a black hood over his entire face and had a net on a stick and a bottle of YooHoo which he referred to as Net and YooHoo.
Nick Fuentes was sitting there laughing.
This is beyond right wing ideology, this is insanity.
Who knows if that was West under that mask ?
It sounded like his voice.
I have to say I haven't really heard him speak. I've read a lot of things he's said but don't know what his voice sounds like.
I did not think so.
After the Poland Argentina World Cup contest, Fox cut away to TMZ in progress.
They had live bits and recorded bits of the schtick and I didn't think it was really him.
Fuentes was there and Jones thought it was a gag, that Ye's comments were nutz.
Like Musk, and some celebrity politicians this is just another attention seeking
fiasco.
If it was Kanye there , he needs professional help for his acts,
I've heard him talk a few times. I thought it sounded like his voice but I guess it could have been someone impersonating his voice.
West doesnt seem to have denied it was him, but thats neither here nor there I suppose.
There seem to be people out there, Ye included , who are determined to turn this world into a crazy place.
Elon Musk says Ye suspended from Twitter after swastika tweet
Elon Musk said Twitter suspended the rapper Ye on Friday after he shared an image of a swastika combined with the Star of David weeks after his account was restored.
It was not immediately clear for how long Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, would be unable to tweet on the social media platform, where he had more than 31 million followers. His account appeared with a message saying it “Account suspended” on Friday.
“I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” Musk wrote overnight to another user asking him to “fix Kanye.”
The tweet followed a string of antisemitic comments by the artist that have upended his business deals. An interview with far-right Infowars founder Alex Jones sparked uproar on Thursday, in which the rapper said: “I like Hitler.”
In a retweet of a Thursday clip from the interview, before Musk announced his suspension, Ye promoted his appearance where he said: “I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.” He sent the swastika image in a separate tweet. Twitter did not immediately respond to request for comment early Friday.
It was a truly 'remarkable display of a full-face mask, no? I even though that too. I have heard Ye's voice coupled with seeing his face and yes, I actually had the thought that he might get away with this one because of claiming, "It ain't me" - but this is or was selling on 'retailers':
It's a required fashion accessory with the antifa crowd.
This guy needs to be put away in a institution for his own and other's safety!
Completely agree.
"Ye" is so extremely disturbed and it doesn't seem like anyone is doing anything to help.
Arvo Pat... depends if he wants it..some people don't.. bit like our drop kick Nic Kyrgios our bogan tennis player..
Just a national embarrassment and a pain in the arse to boot..
Better yet John - why should anyone care what this loser has to say?
True.
But don't be surprised when some left-wing loons try to make it about right-wingers.
What I don't understand is why anyone pays the least bit of attention to this clown.
i guess that means he will steer clear of NYC , hear they are putting their "crazy " homeless , in hospitals involentarily.
the question 1st asked can be answered with a meme i saw recently , picture the spoiled boy king from game of thrones saying he was "offended ", then picture tony soprano , sitting at the table and saying " who gives a shit ".
Tony answered the question .
What an imbecile. Under Hitler, his music would have been illegal, and he would have been forcibly sterilized or killed.
He would have been dead..
West likes Hitler, well Hitler wouldn't have liked him..
Assume West has heard of the Aryan race what Hitler was wanting to achieve..and how the athlete Jesse Owens was treated at the Olympic games in 1936 by Hitler...
But as they say ignorance is bliss..
I don't think Kanye has bothered with any reading of history during the Hitler years. There's some really good documentaries out there that he should watch. Netflix has a really good one
Two steps beyond bizarre.
Arvo..hang on a sec... wasn't he using bipolar as an excuse for the last out burst?
Another has been to add to the collection.. can't stand to be out of the lime light..so any head line is a good head line...and then blame mental issues...and everyone else..
He is off like a bucket of prawns in the sun..
i can see he is wearing his ex wifes underwear over his head and face ......
Massive improvement I think..
Disgusting P.O.S. And so is his neo-Nazi friend Fuentes.
Not sure what's worse, going on a anti-Semitic tirade to begin with or doing it on a show hosted by the likes of Alex Jones?
I think there about equal in their vileness
Yep
Aw hell. There are a few within the US government and many more outside of the US government that harbor a cetain affinity for Hitler. After all, didn't the Nazis build good roads?
I think we have a new definition of insanity here, supporting something that strives for your personal destruction.
