House Judiciary GOP Deletes Pro Kanye-Trump Tweet After Rapper Says ‘I Like Hitler’

So this was the last straw.

Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, appeared on Alex Jones’ far-right conspiracy theory swamp show InfoWars on Thursday and unapologetically praised Adolf Hitler. The shocking remarks, which even the far-right troll Jones tried to steer West away from saying, were apparently a bridge too far for some House Republicans.

Why delete the tweet? It’s 100% accurate.

So I guess Kanye never heard about the 1936 Olympics?

I know I shouldn’t be surprised anymore, but the degree of terrible judgment shown by the endlessly hero-worshipping Right never ceases to amaze me. They pack so much stupidity into such a small space, you just have to wonder how so few on their side seem to recognize evil even when it stares them right in the face.

I mean, even Cheney and Kinzinger could see it. I take it this tweet had Jim Jordan’s fingerprints all over it?

See what? I’m not as familiar with Kinzinger’s record, but Cheney supported Trump 100% of the time during his Presidency while knowing exactly what he was. She voted against his first impeachment and voted for just about all of his programs. Right up until J6 when he threatened her life with the insurrection, and it turned into a personal beef against him.

Hardcore Republicans like Cheney are perfectly happy to support a massively flawed candidate, a “useful idiot,” because anything is better than a Democrat. Right up until the leopard starts to eat their face, which is what happened with Cheney.

Maybe experience is necessary. People in this society use too many metaphors. That foolishness continued in 2016 with people comparing Trump to Hillary as though they were “equally bad”.

“Well, I see good things about Hitler,” West said. “Every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.

I think every presidential candidate should reveal their taxes and their stance on Hitler.

Fair point. I guess even I was being overly generous in handing out credit for standing up against evil.

Ye, Musk, Trump all would benefit from actual friends with sounds advice. Advice that includes - don’t say that.

Cheney is the personification of evil, just like her dad. She’s a fan of government torture including waterboarding of Al-Qaeda prisoners. I’ll giver her a little credit for making a stand on J6, but everything else about her is despicable.
