Kanye West's Anti-Semitic Remarks Spark Widespread Condemnation
"Kanye. Elon. Trump"
Kanye West threatened to go "death con 3" on Jews. Will the GOP take down this tweet in response or continue to elevate him to the same level of veneration as Trump?
Anti-Semitism has always been quietly tolerated. Here it is, out in the open. https://t.co/ASVqmverWY

The House GOP did apparently think it was cool to have West onboard in some fashion earlier in the week. That might have changed now, but that tweet is still posted,

prevnextKanye West is never so crazy that he says anything off the wall about white people…y’all ever notice that? He’s never so manic to where he says something that will shake the tables in a white household. His mania is ALWAYS at the expense of Black people & when he has a project. https://t.co/IAUehXGtF8

Point to the Culprit!
Kanye West: if you see yourself at war with Jewish people, then you are, by definition, Antisemitic.
Shame on you and your enablers like Tucker Carlson.

New York representative Ritchie Torres responded to West's comments by pointing to who he blames for helping foster those thoughts to today's world. Carlson has been accused of using clear language used by white supremacist groups and others during segments of his show.

Apart from Diddy and Khloe Kardashian reaching out to West, publicly either by force or by choice. Yasiin Bey, best known by his rap name Mos Def, mocked West's decision to wear the white lives matter shirt.

Kanye has no doubt dealt with powerful and shady people of various faiths and backgrounds. But only the Jews get the blame. Thousands of years of scapegoating still going strong in 2022. Whatever man!

Ben Cahn pointed out how Jewish people are always at the center focus of most hate groups, though he still had a little fun with his final tweet, sending out an olive branch. "The worst part is that any meaningful consequences or pushback against Kanye will only reinforce his belief that it's the Jews. If that's the case I want in. Any powerful Jews please DM me I am ready to step up and be promoted to petty officer in the Kikerarchy," he wrote.

While West had been controversial most of the week, his Saturday night decision was not on many BINGO cards for 2022.
