On Thursday, West — who legally changed his name to “Ye” — went on right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ show and said, “I like Hitler…I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.”
“Kanye West is a deranged Anti-semite,” New York Rep. Lee Zeldin, one of the few Republican Jewish members of Congress who lost his bid for governor this year, told POLITICO in a statement. “I want absolutely nothing to do with that lunatic. He’s totally bad news.”
CNN had previously reported that several people who were once close to West said that he has long been fascinated by Hitler — and once wanted to name an album after the Nazi leader.
“A business executive who worked for West told CNN that the artist created a hostile work environment, in part through his ‘obsession’ with Hitler,” reported CNN on Friday.
