The world is reacting to new statements from Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, revealing a love for both Adolf Hitler and Nazis.

In an appearance on Alex Jones's controversial Infowars, Ye talked for roughly three hours with the host and fellow guest and white nationalist Nick Fuentes. He made several antisemitic remarks, going as far as to say, "I see good things about Hitler."

"Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler," he said.

Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III tweeted, "Somebody tell Kanye to SHUT UP!!!" as news of the broadcast made its way to the social media site.

Meghan McCain did not mince words in her reaction, saying, "F*** Kanye and everyone who keeps giving him a platform."

Edward Snowden, a former computer intelligence consultant with the National Security Agency who leaked highly classified information in 2013, also spoke up, tweeting, "Turns out kanye is not gonna be president."

Politicians similarly began to react to clips of Ye's remarks, with Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) calling his comments "disgusting." "His pattern of anti-Semitic behavior is unacceptable and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. We must call out this hateful rhetoric and root out anti-Semitism wherever it rears its ugly head," she added.

"Kanye West is putrid and vile! He has been spewing antisemitic beliefs everywhere & yet he was invited to break bread with the former President & leader of the Republican Party. There is no place in this country for this hate & no place for those who turn a blind eye to it!" said DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison.

Soon after the remarks came to light, the Republican Jewish Coalition released a statement condemning the episode and Ye's antisemitism. The coalition called the trio of Jones, Ye, and Fuentes "a disgusting triumvirate of conspiracy theorists, Holocaust deniers & antisemites," adding that they created a "horrific cesspool of dangerous, bigoted Jew hatred."

Some Democrats noted that the House Judiciary GOP's Twitter account deleted a prior tweet praising Ye.

According to Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), the House Judiciary GOP "finally couldn't support Kanye after he said, 'I see good things about Hitler also.' I guess they're fine with everything he said before that."

"For 2 months Jim Jordan refused to delete this tweet. Even after Kanye declared war on Jews. As he usually does, Jim looked the other way. Only after Kanye praised Hitler today did Jim delete the tweet. We have the receipts, Jim. And for 2 months you were cool with Jew-bashing," wrote Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA).

A spokesperson for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) told the Washington Examiner, “Mr. Jordan does not run the JudiciaryGOP account. Maybe Fang Fang told Mr. Swalwell incorrectly.”

Music and entertainment magazine Billboard tweeted early Thursday, recognizing Ye as its "Top Gospel Artist of 2022," but apparently deleted the tweet as he began trending for his appearance on Infowars.

The term "Kanye" was the No. 2 trend on Twitter in the United States hours after the broadcast's conclusion.

Twitter's new CEO Elon Musk says that he wasn't involved in restoring Kanye West's blocked account on his newly acquired platform.

"Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints," Musk wrote Friday. "No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes."

When a user asked Musk why West's account, who is also known as Ye, was reactivated, the CEO clarified, "Ye’s account was restored by Twitter before the acquisition. They did not consult with or inform me."

The rapper was temporarily suspended for 19 days after an antisemitic tweet that violated the platform's rules. That same week, Ye was banned from Instagram for posting screenshots of his texts that contained antisemitic sentiments.

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE," the since-removed tweet that initiated the suspension read. "The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda."

Musk has claimed to be a "free speech absolutist," while promising that the platform will not become a "free speech hellscape."

Ye has yet to tweet since his account was restored.

Late-night host Stephen Colbert announced Thursday that Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is banned from his program amid his many controversies.

Ye was temporarily suspended from Twitter and Instagram over his antisemitic posts. He then reiterated on his sentiments in interviews. Colbert subsequently announced the rapper is banned from the Ed Sullivan Theater stage to a roar of applause from his audience.

KANYE WEST'S TWITTER ACCOUNT COMES BACK ONLINE

“I know this has been too long in coming. I have no excuses for why I didn’t do this before,” Colbert said. “Except, perhaps, that he has never been on the show, had no plans to be on the show, we’ve never asked him to be on the show, and I am not sure he is aware that I have a show.”

Colbert joked that he felt the need to address the issue in case Ye showed up to the studio unannounced as he did at Skechers headquarters on Thursday.

“In five years, the idea of an unannounced visit from Kanye has gone from ‘Amazing!’ to ‘Sir, you need to leave this Skechers,” Colbert said. “It gets worse. Unlike with Adidas, Kanye never had any deal with Skechers. Apparently, Kanye is so desperate he’s just driving around searching Google maps for ‘shoes near me.'”

Ye's accounts on Twitter and Instagram were reinstated after being suspended for 19 days.
