(Jewish Group) Kanye West doubles down on antisemitic tropes, rejects invitation to Holocaust Museum

Kanye West rejected an invitation from the Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles following his antisemitic rants of the past several days, doubling down on his recent anti-Jewish tropes and conspiracy theories.

“I want you to visit Planned Parenthood. That’s our Holocaust museum,” the rapper told the Drink Champs podcast, echoing one of his unaired comments from Tucker Carlson’s Fox New interview where he said “known eugenics” Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood alongside the Ku Klux Klan “to control the Jew population.”

West noted that his outbursts came after Dov Charney, the Jewish founder of Los Angeles Apparel, would not release his “White Lives Matter” t-shirt widely condemned as racist, though West said “it’s because he’s Jewish.” West would later say: “Don’t say ‘fuck Black Lives Matter’ or you will be cancelled by the Jewish media.”

“They been fucking with me for too long. They put the crazy narrative out there. My Jewish trainer put when I went to the hospital in the press,” West said, referring to his 2016 hospitalization after a manic episode.

But mostly he’s racist, antisemitic, a bigot, profoundly stupid. And proud of all of it.

He doesn’t warrant even a mention in any reporting, anywhere. But we’re in a content-driven world. And he’s content.
