The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) publicly condemned rapper Kanye West’s praise of Hitler during his appearance on the Alex Jones podcast this week.
Released Thursday shortly after clips of West’s interview went viral on social media, the RJC said the interview featured a “disgusting triumvirate of conspiracy theorists, Holocaust deniers, and antisemites.”
“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,” it added. “I like Hitler. … I’m not trying to be shocking; I like Hitler. The Holocaust is not what happened. Let’s look at the facts of that, and Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities,” West said as he donned a black mask that covered his entire face.
