The Right’s Been Quiet About Kanye West’s Antisemitism, Haven’t They?
Interesting. Why?
Yeah, there’s no denying Kanye West has got his issues. A lot of them.
You can’t explain away the antisemitism with mental health issues though, can you?
It’s been over a week since Kanye West decided to put his hatred and antisemitism on full display on Twitter resulted in his suspension from the platform, writing about how he was going to be declaring war on Jewish people. Now it should go without saying that there are tens of millions of people with mental health issues all across this country, and they’re not antisemitic. And then there’s the fact that that he followed up his statement by essentially saying his statement can’t be considered antisemitic because…he’s black, which of course would lead you to believe that he’s fully aware of what he’s saying and how it’s justifiably being perceived.
But it’s certainly been interesting to see how so few among the right wing, where Kanye West has found his political hime, seem to be speaking out. Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, you name it…They don’t really care too much, do they? Interesting how Tucker Carlson in particular has deemed Kanye West relevant enough to tape an interview with for his prime time television show, but he doesn’t feel the need to even acknowledge let…
