Ye under fresh fire for Hitler praise in interview

The rapper Ye praised Adolf Hitler and Nazis in an interview yesterday with far-right provocateur Alex Jones, drawing a fresh round of condemnation for his incendiary anti-Semitism a week after he dined with former president Donald Trump alongside white nationalist Nick Fuentes. ‘‘I like Hitler,’’ a fully masked Ye told Jones. Minutes later, the rapper said, ‘‘I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.’’ Jones laughed and quickly added, ‘‘Well, I have to disagree with that.’’ Ye’s comments prompted sharp denunciations from across the political spectrum, including from some onetime supporters of the rapper, formerly known as Kanye West. A spokesman for Trump did not respond to a request for comment about the show. Shortly after the Infowars segment ended, Ye’s Twitter account began retweeting posts about the ‘‘craziest interview in modern history’’.
