A little while ago, professional BS purveyor Alex Jones had antisemitic exclaimer Ye (Kanye West) and avowed antisemite Nick Fuentes on his show for what can only be called a depressing display of antisemitic ranting. During the very long Infowars episode, Ye kept his face covered in a fully hooded mask. The show was so far afield—even for Jones—that, somehow, Jones came across as the most reasonable person in the room. This is an impressive feat for a man who called dead children’s parents “crisis actors” for years before being sued into the lunar orbit by Sandy Hook victims’ families.
Ye has been hanging around with Nick Fuentes and having dinners with former presidents and other white supremacists. So showing up on Alex Jones’ show was not a surprise. What was surprising was how off the rails it went, and quickly. To summarize how hot a garbage fire of hate and ignorance this Infowars episode was—even compared to most episodes, which is saying something—here are some quotes:
- “They did good things too. We have to stop dissing the Nazis all the time.”
- “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world.”
The reactions from around the social media space owned by Afrikaner Elon Musk were, alternately, bewilderment, gallows humor, and distress.
