Kanye West‘s antisemitic ranting is now on the White House’s radar … and President Biden is not only calling him out, but also anyone who does NOT speak out against Ye.
The prez doesn’t mention Ye by name, but it’s clear who and what he was referring to Friday morning when he tweeted, “I just want to make a few things clear: The Holocaust happened. Hitler was a demonic figure.”
The tweet comes immediately on the heels of Elon Musk shutting down Ye’s Twitter account because he posted a graphic combining a swastika with the Star of David. He also ranted all day — on Twitter and on “Infowars” with Alex Jones — about loving Hitler and Nazis.
President Biden’s tweet also adds what seems like a shot at Donald Trump. He said, “Instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides. Silence is complicity.”
Remember, Trump’s been widely criticized for having dinner last week with Ye and white nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago.

Even Sen. Mitch McConnell, a former Trump ally, condemned him by saying, “There is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy.”
