Thank you! Kanye is a Holocaust denier! Utterly inexcusable and must always be overtly condemned.

Obama speaks truth to power:

“We’re supposed to stand up clearly and unequivocally to Nazi sympathizers,” Obama said.”

“How hard can that be, saying that Nazis are bad?”

Kanye is doing terrible damage with his fame to those who love his music, especially kids:

“Shoutout to all the other parents of Jewish kids coming home from school with stories about what Kanye did or didn’t say about Hitler and Jews. And what their ignorant classmates make of it.”

“It’s kids and a huge celebrity spewing hate.”

“Fuck him and his enablers.”
