Sacha Baron Cohen slammed Donald Trump and rapper Kayne West during his performance at the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday night - the same evening Paul Pelosi made his dramatic first public appearance since he was brutually attacked. Cohen, in his Borat persona, mocked Trump for having orange skin and a fat belly. He also criticized West's anti-semitic remarks during his tribute to the Irish rock band U2. The audience roared with laughter in response to the actor's wisecracks. 'I am told the president of yours today is here. Where are you, Mr. Trump?,' Borat said. As the cameras panned...

We reported in October that musician and entrepreneur Kanye West (who now answers to “Ye”) was set to buy social media platform Parler. In the mix, as my colleague Kira Davis wrote then, was the recent re-upping of a ban on West’s Twitter account. Unless you’ve lived in a bunker for the past few months, you know he’s been mired in controversy over anti-Semetic remarks he’s made, on both social media and during interviews. You may have also heard about an unannounced visit to Mar-a-Lago for dinner.When we last checked in on the guy (Thursday), he was sharing some extraordinarily...

<p>Even on Elon Musk’s Twitter, there are red lines for permissible content, and Kanye West, who now calls himself Ye, crossed one of them with a late Thursday night post that prompted the network to suspend his account.</p><p>The artist tweeted an image combining the Star of David with a swastika, which got removed by the social media service.

Kanye Ye West has been suspended from Twitter, the suspension coming after the rapper had tweeted a now deleted post featuring a swastika on Thursday evening. After a chaotic day that saw Ye appear on Alex Jones’ Infowars show and repeatedly say he liked Adolf Hitler, the rapper posted a series of controversial tweets, including supposed text messages between himself and Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Among the tweets, which included praise and support for Balenciaga following the recent backlash against the company, Ye posted a picture of a swastika merged with a Star of David.... ..Musk, a self-described free speech...

Last Tuesday, President Trump had lunch with hip-hop mogul Kanye West. That might have produced headlines on its own, but it wasn’t enough. West brought along with him alleged white supremacist and anti-Semite Nick Fuentes and now-I’m-gay-now-I’m-not provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. Former Trump campaign staffer Karen Giorno provided the transportation.

Alex Jones: "You're not Hitler. You're not a Nazi." Ye: "Well, I see good things about Hitler, also. Every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler."

On Monday evening, Kanye West, or “Ye,” sat down for an interview with podcaster Tim Pool. West brought Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos along. The interview went viral when Pool disagreed with West’s comments on Jewish people, and West exited the interview without a word.

Far-right activist Milo Yiannopoulos said he arranged the dinner between former President Donald Trump and white nationalist Nick Fuentes in order to make the former president’s “life miserable,” according to NBC News. Yiannopoulos, who is reportedly advising rapper Kanye West, formally known as ‘Ye,’ told the outlet he was “the architect” behind the plan of having Fuentes travel with Ye so that he could infiltrate the dinner. Yiannopoulos told NBC News he “wanted to show Trump the kind of talent that he’s missing out on by allowing his terrible handlers to dictate who he can and can’t hang out with.”...

On today's Morning Joe, Mika acknowledged that Mike Pence had offered a "full-throated, robust" criticism of Donald Trump for his dinner with Nick Fuentes and Kanye West. But actually praising Pence for his statement? That was just a bridge too far for Mika. Perhaps she feared getting trashed by the left for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Or even, heaven forbid, turning up in a future Pence for President campaign ad! Check out the screencap. Poor Mika! The thought of praising Pence patently pained her!

Kanye West was joined by Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and white supremacist Milo Yiannopoulos on Monday’s episode of the Timcast IRL podcast. While speaking with Tim Pool, the host of the YouTube channel with 1.4 million subscribers with a largely right-wing audience, West dove into a tirade over the recent media backlash surrounding his anti-semitic comments. “I thought I was more Malcolm X, but I found out I’m more MLK. As I’m getting hosed down every day by the press and financially, I’m just standing there,” said West during the live recording. “When I found out they were trying to...

They say you are the company you keep — and “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin is calling out what she declares Kanye West’s inexcusable ties to racists and anti-Semites. Hostin made the claim during the show’s lively “Hot Topics” segment on Monday, during which the panel condemned former president Donald Trump for hosting West and known Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago last week. “I think the problem with it is, when you provide that kind of access to white supremacists — which is what these two [West and Fuentes] are at this point, because Kanye is also wearing things...

MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that white nationalism was becoming “more central to what today’s Republican Party is about” while discussing former President Donald Trump meeting with Nick Fuentes and rapper Kanye West at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “Not just any dinner, dinner at Mar-a-Lago, which former President Trump calls his Florida White House, his southern White House. This is the place where classified documents were seized by the FBI that the president had taken, stolen from areas where these documents are kept in our government, office buildings, and in the White...

Don Lemon grilled former President Trump’s deputy secretary of State on Monday about Trump’s recent dinner with antisemite Nick Fuentes. Speaking on CNN This Morning, Lemon asked Len Khodorkovsky, a Jewish man who said he is a grandson of Holocaust survivors, if it was wrong for Trump to meet with the known white supremacist. “From what I understand, President Trump said he didn’t know Nick Fuentes was coming, and Nick Fuentes himself, from what I understand, said President Trump had no idea who he was at the dinner,” Khodorkovsky said. “So I — look, let’s just call Nick Fuentes for...

TRUMP GETS PLAYED. What is sure to be one of the weirder moments of the 2024 presidential campaign has just taken place before the campaign is even fully underway.

Former President Trump on Saturday said Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, is a “seriously troubled man” whom he was trying to help, but also blamed the controversial musician for a dinner in which Trump says Ye brought along a known white supremacist. Trump said on Truth Social that Ye brought far-right activist Nick Fuentes to the dinner on Tuesday night and that he did not know who Fuentes was.

Guest-hosting Fox News Sunday, Jennifer Griffin suggested to Jonathan Swan that Donald Trump's dinner with Nick Fuentes had triggered something of a wave of criticism of the former president among prominent Republicans. Swan dissented from Griffin's take: "There actually haven't been that many prominent Republicans who have come out against Trump . . . Which tells me there is still a fear among Republicans, even ones who want to oppose him potentially in 2024, that Trump still commands a serious, meaningful proportion of the base, and they don't want to cross him yet."

Breitbart, once called the platform of the “alt-right” by Steve Bannon, shredded former President Donald Trump on Friday for dining with far-right white nationalist and Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes.

'Israel' responded to Kanye West's tweet in which he wrote peace with a smiley: "We would very much like to be excluded from this narrative." Musk complimented the user of the State of Israel and wrote, your tweets are good, more countries should tweet in this way. It's not fun to be stuffy all the time (the accurate translator will win a gift prize...) Translation of stuffy: a person who is not open to new ideas. Narrow-minded.
