Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, praised Adolf Hitler on Alex Jones' Infowars' show. The guests on the show, including Nick Fuentes, represent the worst in our society. They are MAGA Republicans, the same group that President Biden denounced. West went as far as to deny that the Holocaust ever took place, even though it is a well-documented historical fact.

Even though Donald Trump tried to claim that he didn't know who Nick Fuentes was, the former President knew who Ye was when he hosted him at that infamous dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Trump's allies, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have denounced Fuentes after a backlash ensued, but they seem to be giving Ye a pass.

And now they just want to pretend that they never had a connection to Ye or that they propped him up as a conservative hero.

The Twitter account for the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, run by Jim Jordan, deleted a tweet that said “Kanye. Elon. Trump.” after West praised Adolf Hitler.

Rep. Eric Swalwell called Jordan out.

It took Ye professing his love for Hitler for Jordan to remove that tweet. He didn't mind the other highly offensive anti-Semitic rants that came out of Ye's big fat, bigoted mouth. When West said that he wanted to go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE," that didn't bother Jordan. Saying he loves Hitler was finally too much for the GOP.

The Republican Jewish Coalition issued a statement, calling out West and Fuentes.

"Today's InfoWars show featuring Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, and Kanye West — a disgusting triumvirate of conspiracy theorists, Holocaust deniers, and antisemites — was a horrific cesspool of dangerous, bigoted Jew hatred," the statement reads. "We vehemently condemn those comments and call on all political leaders to reject these messengers of hate and relegate them to the dustbin of history where they belong."

"Given his praise of Hitler, it can't be overstated that Kanye West is a vile, repellant bigot who has targeted the Jewish community with threats and Nazi-style defamation," the statement added. "Conservatives who have mistakenly indulged Kanye West must make it clear that he is a pariah. Enough is enough."

West also admitted that he's pro-Russia, and pro-Putin, which means that he's pro-genocide, so it's not too surprising that he's pro-Nazi Germany, too.
