Graham Platner, a Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, plans to cover up a tattoo on his chest that has been labeled as anti-Semitic and resembling a Nazi symbol by a Jewish civil rights group and his former aide.
Kanye West shared on Instagram that he's having trouble booking concert arenas and seemingly suggested it was due to his anti-Semitic rants, comparing his situation to that of Elvis Presley. Comedian Bill Maher called him a "charming anti-Semite" and stated he recorded a podcast episode with Kanye but won't release it. West apologized for his anti-Semitic outbursts in December, but recent events suggest otherwise. He will be hosting a listening party at the United Center in Chicago for his new album, Vultures.
Kanye West went on a disturbing 10-minute rant during his "Vultures" listening party in Las Vegas, where he made anti-Black and anti-Semitic remarks. In the video circulating on social media, West mentioned Adolf Hitler, Jesus Christ, and Donald Trump, falsely claiming that Trump is a Zionist. He also accused Jewish people of owning every hospital, bank, and private school in Los Angeles. West called out his former business partners, Demna, and fellow rappers Drake and Jay-Z. Attendees paid $2,000 per ticket for the album launch party.
