    At one of Kanye West's first meetings with Adidas he drew a swastika on a design sketch and told a Jewish member of staff to kiss a photo of Hitler, according to an investigation by The New York Times. For more than a decade, the rapper now known as Ye had one of the most lucrative celebrity-fashion partnerships ever with Adidas, generating sales of more than $1 billion a year. But the German sportswear brand eventually cut ties with Ye in October 2022 after a series of public antisemitic tirades and offensive posts that caused him to be blocked from...

    Adidas has decided what it's going to do with its unsold Yeezy merchandise. At an investors' conference Thursday, Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden said that the apparel company is going to "sell parts of this inventory and donate money to the organizations that are helping us and that was also hurt by Kanye's statements." Adidas had previously said it expects to lose $1.3 billion in revenue this year because it's unable to sell the designer's Yeezy clothing and shoes. It had been under pressure from investors to determine what to do with merchandise after Adidas terminated its partnership with Ye, formerly...

    A series of private emails that were sent to all 168 members of the Republican National Committee after former President Donald Trump met with Kanye West and white nationalist Nick Fuentes give an inside look at RNC members’ exasperation with Trump’s antics. While several members of the RNC had called on Chair Ronna McDaniel to publicly denounce Trump for the meeting, a number of RNC members reportedly expressed their unease in the email conversation. The emails contained comments directly relating to Trump’s dinner with West and Fuentes, according to the Washington Examiner, including calls for Republican leaders to denounce Trump....

    West said he would make Jews work for Christians and have cameras in their living rooms if he ever became president. Kanye West defended Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazis who brutally murdered six million Jews in the Holocaust for the second time in a week on Monday, urging Jews to "forgive Hitler" in a conversation with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes. White supremacist Nick Fuentes mediated the interview. West reiterated his stance that Jews cannot tell him who he can and cannot love and added that they "cannot force their pain on everyone else." "Jewish people, forgive Hitler...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Representative Ilhan Omar arrived at the Capitol today proudly decked out head-to-toe in brand new "Yeezy" gear.

"When I looked deep into that mask and heard about Ye's love for Hitler - I realized I had finally found a man who really gets me. Well, besides my brother."

    Former President Trump’s campaign is increasing its vetting protocols following his widely criticized dinner with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, sources told The Associated Press. A senior campaign official will be present with Trump at all times, one of the sources said. Fuentes attended a dinner at Mar-a-Lago last week with Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West. Ye was set to have a private dinner with the former president, but arrived with three guests, one of whom was Fuentes, Trump has said. Fuentes and Ye were driven to the estate by Karen Giorno, a former Trump campaign adviser from...

    Rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West claimed last week that the U.S. is being run by “300 Zionists,” one of many antisemitic statements that he has continued to make despite criticism and pleas for him to stop. In a clip that was posted and re-posted by extremists on social media, West is seen to claim: “Somehow our country has been taken over by, you know, maybe about 300 Zionists.” He does not define the term “Zionist.”

    Kanye West was joined by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and white supremacist Milo Yiannopoulos on Monday’s episode of the Timcast IRL podcast. Earlier in the podcast, West also detailed his meeting with former president Donald Trump. West said that it had been planned for October but that after Trump announced his run for presidency, Trump pushed the meeting to November. West said that following his “Death Con” comment, Alex Jones’ producer introduced him to Yiannopoulos, who in turn suggested West “bring in” Fuentes. The artist said he was “impressed by Nick” and asked him to join the dinner, stating that...

    They say you are the company you keep — and “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin is calling out what she declares Kanye West’s inexcusable ties to racists and anti-Semites. Hostin made the claim during the show’s lively “Hot Topics” segment on Monday, during which the panel condemned former president Donald Trump for hosting West and known Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago last week. “I think the problem with it is, when you provide that kind of access to white supremacists — which is what these two [West and Fuentes] are at this point, because Kanye is also wearing things...

    Kanye West was joined by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and white supremacist Milo Yiannopoulos on Monday’s episode of the Timcast IRL podcast. While speaking with Tim Pool, the host of the YouTube channel with 1.4 million subscribers with a largely right-wing audience, West dove into a tirade over the recent media backlash surrounding his anti-semitic comments. “I thought I was more Malcolm X, but I found out I’m more MLK. As I’m getting hosed down every day by the press and financially, I’m just standing there,” said West during the live recording. “When I found out they were trying to...

    Former Vice President Mike Pence on Monday said former President Trump was “wrong” to have dinner with white nationalist Nick Fuentes last week, but said he does not believe Trump is an antisemite or racist. “President Trump was wrong to give a white nationalist, an antisemite and a Holocaust denier a seat at the table, and I think he should apologize,” Pence told NewsNation in an interview. “With that being said, as I point out in the book as well, I don’t believe Donald Trump is an antisemite. I don’t believe he’s a racist or a bigot,” Pence continued. “I...

    Don Lemon has unwittingly let CNN's cat out of the bag. Guests aren't there to engage in an actual discussion. They're brought on to express a specific opinion. And if they try to stray from CNN's script, they will be shut down. Lemon gave a perfect illustration of the phenomenon on Monday's CNN This Morning. The guest was Len Khodorkovsky, a former Trump administration official, who is Jewish. And in Lemon's mind, the clear purpose of Khodorkovsky's appearance was to have him criticize Trump for hosting a dinner with Nick Fuentes and Kanye West. In fact, in a variety of...
