My understanding is that his more controversial comments were at live events or while streaming playing video games.
The only thing I heard was him relating a cookie baking puzzle that was sent to him by someone else. The gist of that was to suggest there weren't enough ovens in the camps to kill six million Jews in the amount of time available.
His opinions on whites and Jews are similar to those of American Renaissance which is more white separatist and definitely not white supremacist.
Who cares? This is stupid, can we focus on important issues?
And Kanye was already well known for wanting to go Deathcon 3 on Jews before this. This is all of case of extraordinary bad judgement.
Yikes.
It's not exactly denying the Holocaust, but it is mocking it and suggesting there's no way that many Jews could have been killed. He apparently thinks using a Cookie Monster analogy as to how many ovens he would need to bake 6 million cookies is really funny.
Maybe his other views are fine -- I don't know the guy. But he's clearly a kid who thinks offending other people is funny. That's fine if you're in a small group of just friends, but if you're a public figure of any note, that's rightly going to reflect on your public image. And in this case, Trump will now be tarred with "this is the kind of guy with whom Trump has dinner."
Anything that might impact the electability of Republican candidates is important.
Thanks… that’s the one I keep hearing about it sounds like. He looks way younger there. And a factoid he is missing is the Holocaust of bullets. Most Nazi Holocaust victims did not die in camps. They died at the side of a ditch, in Abe forest, or in a van that dumped them in a mass grave.
And then of course, he is missing the German penchant for efficient operations.
Anyway, that appears to be one idiotic tongue-in-cheek thing he said long ago in response to somebody else making a very anti-holocaust point. The main thing he stands for today is stopping our reflexive support for Israel, ending the wars in the Middle East, ending hard left is some in America, and stopping the immigration flood. And of course, his greatest sin is that he points out the Republican Party is not our salvation and there’s actually a full participate.
Well, except the truth is that Trump did have dinner with Ye, and some snarky frat-boy type who has said publicly things that obviously will offend people.
Trump wouldn't be trying to distance himself from this guy otherwise.
I came up with essentially the same information when searching for actual “Holocaust denial” material. Lots of references to Fuentes being one, but very short on actual evidence or direct quotes.
Also seems like some of the guy’s shtick is over-the-top speech that is being delivered in an ironic manner to amuse his followers. Sort of like the old “shock jocks”. The irony is either lost upon or deliberately ignored by the reporters trying to make him sound and look as bad as possible.
Kanye set up TRUMP!! I never even heard of this guy!
All good points. But I think when judging what Kanye said, we need to remember something. His criticism was in respect to how Jewish people in the industry had treated him. Including Kushner. And we should remember the impeachment trial. Close to 75% of the accusers, the attorneys, the witnesses, and the “experts” were all Jewish. That is way out of proportion to the general population of America. Schumer, Sondman, Vindman, Nuland, Nadler, the demonrats lead attorney, Yovonovitch, Goldman, Raskin.
Then there is Noah Feldman of Harvard, Pamela Karlan of Stanford and Michael Gerhardt of the University of North Carolina. So are Schiff and Nadler, and so was the Democrats’ counsel who directed the first 45 minutes of questioning, Norm Eisen.
Yes something is up with that.
Only an idiot would think less of the Jewish guy in your workplace, or your neighbor who goes to the synagogue, or in your military unit is part of some conspiracy and should be treated in any manner other than you would treat every other friend you have.
But only an idiot cannot see that yes there is a powerful Jewish cabal (non exclusive) That has been the driving force behind many of the bad things happening in America. It is in the driver seat of progressive thought.
I am much more in line with Mark twain’s essay, concerning the Jews. Help, Jewish people are not the bad guys in America. But yes, Kanye is not 100% wrong
Here’s when he crashed CPAC.
“I’m off Twitter, I have nothing to lose. This is going to be the most racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, Holocaust-denying speech in all of Dallas this weekend”

Remember, those same reporters have been saying for years that President Trump endorsed white supremacists in Charlottesville. In that case they all ignored the sentences after the sentence they always quote which showed President Trump was categorically against the white supremacists.
Does anybody think that the media are not doing the exact same thing with Fuentes and other people?
Not denying that. Obviously Trump knows Ye (Kanye West) and the scumball White Supremacist said Trump probably didn't even know who he was.
My comment was specific to the white supremacist: assuming Trump didn't even know who he was and was at the same dinner, the media won't ever say that part. We both know that, and that's the part the ignorant masses will eat up and it won't matter what the truth really is: Trump didn't know. (Assuming he really didn't.)
That is the worst thing about propaganda and cancelling speech, which are two tools of the same fascist movement.
You label someone, and you have to believe depending on who says what, and can find no proof either way yourself.
That leaves us with “an appeal to authority”. The MSM/Gov/ADL/Pharma/AMA/BIG TEK... know and control all.
What is wrong with being a supremacist when other races are playing the same game? Simply put, the Chinese, the Ukrainians, Blacks, Muslims, LgbtQueers etc are all playing the supremacy game?
It is simply a time to segregate by philosophy. If you are within ANY group other than America First, you are an enemy.
Within the MAGA movement, we accept all, but you have to give your fealty to America FIRST!!!
Agreed. All speech should be out there and up for debate. It should be Darwinian, where stupidity and illogical arguments are dissected. Shutting up people you don’t like can have the opposite effect.
Fuentes makes a habit of pushing mainstream Conservatives into hot political water.
Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared at a venue with Fuentes, she did not know him, and she got scalded by press critics and Democrats.
Michele Malkin briefly supported Fuentes, and she got de-platformed by several websites.
Fuentis is just too impulsive and too unpredictable.
Any Conservative who wants to seek public office or an upper middle class income needs to stay away from this guy.
But Fuentes says he doesn’t think Trump knew who he was, at least at dinner.“
That will not matter.
