It’s good to be a Republican Anti-Semite
It’s springtime for anti-semites and white supremacists.
The world’s oldest hate has returned with a vengeance thanks in part to tiki-torch bearers, aging hip-hop stars, and GOP politicians.
Currently, Kanye West, who loves his MAGA cap and Whites Lives Matter shirt, is deservedly receiving national condemnation for his recent venomous anti-Semitic comments. Adidas and GAP announced this week that they have, finally, dropped Ye, resulting in him losing his status as a billionaire. (Don’t worry, he’ll still have $400 million and find a way to be the perpetual victim.) It bears mentioning that these corporations were absolutely fine with him after he said slavery was “a choice” and embraced Trumpism, but national pressure forced them to finally sideline him, which they should have done on their own a long time ago.
However, Ye’s consistent anti-semitic outbursts have given him a new, comfortable home in the GOP which has embraced his hate with open arms. The House GOP still hasn’t removed its tweet from October 6th which simply read, “Kanye. Elon. Trump,” highlighting the three musketeers and willful tools of white nationalism. It bears mentioning the House GOP kept the tweet up even after Ye posted “going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE” on October 10th.
