Biden condemns antisemitism following Kanye
West's remarks
Kanye
West’s suspension from Twitter after the rapper posted an image blending a
swastika with a star of David, following an interview in which he praised Adolf
Hitler and denied the Holocaust, appears to have caught the eye of Joe Biden.
The
president tweeted his own response on Friday morning, not directly addressing
West, who now goes by the name of Ye, but saying he wanted “to make a few
things clear”.
“The
Holocaust happened. Hitler was a demonic figure. And instead of giving it a
platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting
antisemitism wherever it hides. Silence is complicity,” he wrote.
His tweet
alludes to Republican leaders who either chose to not to speak our, or offered
only tepid criticism of Donald Trump hosting West and fellow Holocaust denier
and white supremacist Nick Fuentes at a dinner at the former president’s
Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
