With his face completely covered by a black morphsuit, Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, appeared on Infowars to deliver a pro-Nazi tirade that left even the controversial Alex Jones speechless.
Ye claimed that, in his view, all people present value, "especially" Adolf Hitler. "Also Hitler was born Christian," went on the rapper in one of his more stupefying comments.
The rapper-turned-agitator claimed that he saw good things in the racist German dictator who considered blacks inferior and even complained that usually no mention was made of it. "you can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I’m done with that."
Alex Jones desperately tries to get Kanye West to clarify that he doesn't actually love Hitler ... but nope.

In his unleashed, masked rant, Ye said that Hitler not only created highways but invented the microphone, an instrument for which he is obviously grateful.
Jones rebutted by making his position on the issue clear, emphasizing that he does not like Nazis. However, this didn't make Ye back down or make him uncomfortable. In fact, right after Jones' comment, the artist doubled down on his position: "I like Hitler," he said.
The views of Kim Kardashian's ex-husband were extreme even for Jones, who was shocked and soon after told his guest, "You have a bit of a Hitler fetish."

Ye later added that he doesn't like Nazis being labeled "evil" because he loves them as much as he loves Jews. He even went as far as Holocaust denial: "[Hitler] did not kill six million Jews, that is simply factually incorrect."
This is not the first time the media star has exposed his bizarre antisemitism. Last October, the sportswear brand Adidas decided to end a million-dollar contract with the rapper, stressing that it does not tolerate antisemitism or any other kind of hate speech.
