Kanye West sent the Internet into shock when he joined alt-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his InfoWars talk show on Thursday (Dec. 1), where he openly admitted that he loves Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
“Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler. How about that one?” he told Jones, who was noticeably uncomfortable as he tried to tell Ye that he thinks “most Jews are great people.” Jones then told Ye that he has a “bit of a Hitler fetish going on,” to which the rapper replied, “It’s not a fetish. I just like information.”

“I don’t like the word ‘evil’ next to Nazis,” Ye later said, undeterred by Jones’ discomfort. “I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.” Later in the interview, Ye reiterated that it’s “time to promote love” by ultimately declaring, “I do love Hitler. I do love the Zionists.”
Following his terrifying remarks, Twitter users expressed their concern and disdain for the comments across the platform — as it’s hardly the first time in recent months that Ye has spread antisemitic hate speech using his platform. Soon enough, “Kanye” was trending on Twitter across the country. See some of the reactions below.
To everyone who was refusing to accept that Kanye is spewing antisemitism and cozying up to white supremacists: the man done announced he likes HITLER. How you defending this one???? pic.twitter.com/scac7t2IqZ

You know Kanye has reached a point of no return when he makes Alex Jones look normal.

Republicans have normalized hate so much in America that Kanye can wildly declare how much he loves Nazis and Hitler, and folks are like ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
So disgusted right now.— BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ (@mmpadellan) December 1, 2022
People are gonna joke about Kanye. People are gonna blame his mental health. But the truth is that he’s normalizing Nazism for a whole lot of people. I know that word is overused but folks will be googling Hitler tonight. It’s so incredibly dangerous.

I guess Kanye West saying “I Love Hitler” was enough to get the GOP to delete this tweet pic.twitter.com/hRt8bf4ZlW

Kanye going on Alex Jones to say "I like Hitler" should really be mind-blowing, but in 2022 it's just a Thursday.
