Disturbing how many voices both left & right across wide array of sectors are refusing to condemn Ye's attacks on Jews & glorification of Nazis. Ignorance (or denial) of history? Hoping he'll eventually calm down? Head in the sand while evil festers? #SilenceIsComplicity

All that, while we , the tax payers, fund Nazis as we speak in Ukraine . Perhaps this guy is trying to give ourselves a mirror? Maybe?

Refusing to grant him a podium is more like it. His musings will rise and fall on their own merit.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because more people than we realize agree with him. Much like WWII when many Americans sided with the Nazis. Henry Ford, a famous anti-semite and a hero of Hitler's was one of them. And people wonder why it took America so long to get into WWII and also to attack Germany.

But he didn't attack the Jews, only told the truth about the Zionists who rule and control the entertainment industry. Dems support the Khazarian Nazis in Ukraine. So why don't you criticize them??.

I defend free speech, even when bad people use it. Free speech isn't what hurts people, it is often those justifying hurting people because they're bad people that hurts people.

I don't think people on the left are refusing to condemn Ye's attacks on Jews & glorification of Nazis. Famous people such as other musician's won't condemn publicly but will privately. Politician's do need to address.

It's not ignorance or denial, it's an understanding that this is a human being who is currently in a spiral of pain and illness. In some regards treating these comments as legitimate casts actual neo-nazi's & anti-semitism in a more sympathetic light.

Hey mari what about Palestinians ,they do exist, just in case you have forgotten.
Replying to @marwilliamson
If we all had to write a sentence on Twitter condemning everyone anytime they said something rude, hateful or inappropriate, we'd never have time for anything else. Ye isn't an important figure in my life and it's absurd and elitist for you to presume he should be.

I don’t think, mentally, Ye is playing with a full deck, as in being sanity challenged.
