After weeks of private conversations with Kanye West, who lost many of his lucrative deals following his anti-Semitic remarks in 2022, Donald Trump invited the rapper to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. While this dinner was meant to be uneventful, in which Trump intended to lend some advice to Ye after his controversies, West wasn’t alone in visiting Trump at Mar-a-Lago club for a dinner.

Joined by three other guests, one of them being an alleged White nationalist and antisemite Nick Fuentes, what was meant to be an uneventful private dinner, turned into a political nightmare.

In his visit to Mar-a-Lago, Kanye West wasn’t alone, as he was joined by three other guests, one of them being the controversial Nick Fuentes. Following the latter’s history,...

John Cena has a rosy reputation: Beloved 16-time champion pro wrestler, blockbuster movie star, Guinness World Record-holder for the most wishes granted through the Make-a-Wish foundation (he’s the organization’s most-requested celebrity). In the eyes of the public, he’s a wholesome, all-American entertainer.

So why is he following prominent white supremacists, antisemites, and hate accounts on X (formerly Twitter)? It’s probably not on purpose. If, as seems more than probable, these accounts were indiscriminately followed by Cena’s team without knowledge of the content they share, it...

For Jd Vance, enough is enough. Donald Trump’s running mate has made it pretty clear that he doesn’t appreciate all of the critics out there attacking his wife Usha Vance, solely based on her race. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Jd Vance – Wants Critics To Stop Attacking His Wife Usha

According to The Hill, Jd wants the racial attacks against his wife Usha to stop. He made his comments during an interview on ABC News’s This Week.

He said, “Look, my attitude to these people attacking my wife is, she’s beautiful, she’s smart. What kind of man marries Usha? A very smart man and a very lucky man, importantly.”

Jd continued, “And my view is, look, if these guys want to attack me or attack my views, my policy views, my personality, come after me. But don’t attack my wife.

J.D. Vance came to Trump’s defense when confronted with the fact that the presidential candidate had dinner in 2022 with white supremacist Nick Fuentes, who recently attacked Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, a child of Indian immigrants. Fuentes said last month he doesn’t expect Vance — “the guy who has an Indian wife” — to “support White identity.”

“What kind of a man marries somebody named Usha?” Fuentes, who has often praised Hitler, said. “Clearly, he doesn’t value his racial identity, his heritage.”

During an interview that aired Sunday on This Week,...

Conservative internet star Adin Ross’ livestream with Donald Trump — in which the digital celebrity gifted the former president a customized Tesla cybertruck and golden Rolex — reached 500,000 viewers Monday afternoon.

Ross is a 23-year-old influencer who amassed a following through videos of himself playing video games. He has previously welcomed other controversial guests to his channel, including former kickboxer Andrew Tate and white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Ross was banned from livestream platform Twitch last year following several instances of homophobic comments.

In his video Monday afternoon, hosted on Kick, Ross gifted Trump a cybertruck with “Make America Great Again” engraved on the hood. Printed on each door was the photo of Trump with his fist in the air following last month’s assassination attempt. The presentation occurred in the driveway of Trump’s Mar a Lago residence.

Per the New York Times, Trump told Ross he thought the gift was “incredible.

More than half a million concurrent viewers were tuned in to streamer Adin Ross‘ Kick channel on Monday afternoon to watch an interview with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida. In addition to hearing the GOP presidential nominee rant about some of his favorite topics, they also saw Trump receive two expensive, potentially illegal gifts from Ross: a gold Rolex and a custom-wrapped Cybertruck.

Extremists are reacting to Donald Trump’s guilty verdicts in the New York hush-money trial with calls to violence — both overt and covert.

The news that the former president was found guilty on 34 different felony counts did not sit well with Stew Peters, a far-right shock jock who has frequently called for executing government officials, Biden family members, and journalists.

Reacting to Trump’s conviction Thursday on Telegram, Peters claimed that the judicial system has been “weaponized against the American people,” adding: “We are left with No other option but...

Joe Biden’s campaign quickly seized on a video posted to Donald Trump’s social media account that referenced a “unified Reich” as a possibility if the former president were to win back the White House in November.

“Trump posts a new ad foreshadowing a second Trump term that says he will create a ‘Unified Reich,’ echoing Nazi Germany,” the Biden campaign said after the text was spotted.

The video posited what another Trump term would look like, with face headlines mixed with smaller text. Below a headline with the words, “What’s next for America?” was a smaller headline that mentioned the “creation of a unified Reich.”

The Trump campaign tried to distance itself from the video. “This was not a campaign video, it was created by a random account online and reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word, while the president was in court,...

White supremacist Nick Fuentes was granted access to X after his account was taken down. Following his return to the social media platform, Fuentes’ account streamed LGBTQ pornographic material. Fuentes claimed a pro-Israel Telegram channel was responsible.

In response to a post about the incident, Fuentes wrote, “This is getting desperate. My proprietary live streaming site was hacked after my stream went offline by someone claiming to be Idf Unit 8200. The hacker took credit by watermarking the porn and leaving messages on the back end of the site. Easily disprovable nonsense.”

Sen. J.D. Vance defended former president Donald Trump’s claim that “If any Jewish person voted for Joe Biden, they should be ashamed of themselves.”

“What [President Joe] Biden is doing with respect to Israel is disgraceful,” Trump said outside a Manhattan courtroom this past week where he is on trial for paying Stormy Daniels for her silence ahead of the election. “If any Jewish person voted for Joe Biden, they should be ashamed of themselves. He’s totally abandoned Israel.”

Vance quote tweeted the video, writing, “Trump right again. Biden’s...

Last month, a judge tossed a lawsuit from Elon Musk‘s X (formerly Twitter) against the Center for Countering Digital Hate, an anti-extremism watchdog, that alleged the group had financially harmed the company by reporting on violent and hateful speech proliferating across its platform. The ruling stated in no uncertain terms that Musk and X were trying to punish the Ccdh for exercising First Amendment rights.

Following that court victory, the organization is once again sounding the alarm about X’s lack of sensible moderation, releasing another trove of data...

Conservative firebrand Candace Owens has left the news outlet The Daily Wire after a war of words with the founder of the news brand, fellow far-right figure Ben Shapiro, which began shortly after the outset of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

Owens joined the partisan conservative news website, which gained traction during former President Donald Trump’s time in the White House, in 2020 and hosted a weekday commentary show for the brand, known for repackaging other news outlets’ reporting with a right-wing spin. The 34-year-old confirmed the news on Friday on X, the platform where most of the drama between the two conservative media figures played out.

“The rumors are true — I am finally free. If you would like to support my work, you can head to http://CandaceOwens.com where you will be directed to my locals page,” Owens tweeted, then solicited for funds on another personal website.

In their long-running quest to sow xenophobia among the American populace, some on the far right have accused migrants of every imaginable crime. Donald Trump declared them rapists and falsely claimed that the violent street gang Ms-13 was invading the country on a massive scale. GOP legislators have argued, with scant evidence, that the fentanyl crisis can be blamed on drug smugglers entering the U.S. illegally. There are bogus claims about noncitizens committing voter fraud, and the outbreak of war in the Middle East last fall even led to...

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is running online advertising to raise cash for 2024 — and a portion of that ad spending is monetizing pro-Nazi content on the streaming service Rumble, Rolling Stone has observed.

In a short video ad that plays before select videos on Rumble, Trump makes a pitch to the Maga masses to help him counter “crooked Joe Biden” by donating to his 2024 campaign: “I am very humbly asking if you could chip in $5, $10, or even $25.” Trump vows that donors will help him “win back the White House” and “make America great again,...

The Republican Party doesn’t seem to have much of a problem with Nazis these days. NBC News recently reported on how they “openly mingled” at last week’s Conservative Political Action Conference. The report was alarming, but not surprising. The event’s keynote speaker and the party’s standard-bearer, Donald Trump, has a history of hobnobbing with white supremacists and antisemites — including Nick Fuentes, the virulently bigoted Holocaust denier the former president invited to dinner at Mar-a-Lago just over a year ago.

If there’s one defining feature of seemingly every Kanye West album rollout, it’s gotta be chaos. In the past, it was usually good chaos — oh, how we yearn for the days of first-week sales competitions, Good Friday drops, and music videos projected on buildings. But these days, it’s often grim chaos, and the rollout for Vultures 1, West’s new collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, has been another exhibition in the form: delays upon delays, sample issues, diatribes of various kinds, and an alternate album cover based...

Kanye West posted three revealing pictures of his wife, Bianca Censori, on Instagram on January 2.

The first picture showed Censori wearing a strapless bra fur top, which revealed the bottom of her under-boob, a micro thong, knee-high stockings, black high-heels and a black stocking cap.

“No pants this year,” West wrote in this post’s caption.

As for the second picture, Censori wore a corset bodysuit that barely covered her breasts, as well as knee-high boots and a floor-length black leather trench coat.

“It’s giving Kim Kardashian dupe,” West stated in the caption for this post.

Censori was seen wearing the bodysuit and boots again in the third picture, but she was not wearing the trench coat. She was bent over as she was posing in front of a shower.

“Dropped sumn,” West wrote in the third post’s caption.

Fans who commented on the first two pictures were displeased with the “inappropriate” pictures.

After Kanye West posted an apology for his antisemitic remarks last week, far-right political commentator Nick Fuentes took to his show America First to say he was quite dismayed with the rapper.

West posted an apology in Hebrew on his Instagram on December 26.

“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions,” West said. “It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.”

Fuentes, who has made multiple anti-Jewish remarks throughout his career, said he was disappointed with West’s apology.

Notorious right-wing podcaster Nick Fuentes recently ignited controversy when he advocated for non-Christians to receive the death penalty.

Fuentes is a prominent figure known for his racist views. In a recent podcast episode, Fuentes focused on what he described as “occult” elements within society, with a particular emphasis on Jewish individuals.

Fuentes said, “So many of the people perpetrating the lies, the destruction of the country, they are evildoers. They are people who worship the false gods. They are people who practice magic and rituals or whatever… More than anything, those people need to be, when we take power, they need to be given the death penalty.”

He went on, “Many of the people behind the lies and the destruction of our country are evildoers. They worship false gods and engage in magic and rituals. When we assume power, these individuals must be given the death penalty.”

Fuentes insisted that...

Hanging on the wall next to a picturesque window view of the White House grounds in Doug Emhoff’s sunlit corner office is a handmade rectangular wood carving with the words, in all caps, “Second Gentleman.”

When the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris and veteran entertainment lawyer took this newly titled role, it was, as he put it, an “open slate.” The election of his wife as the country’s first female VP meant that, for the first time, there would be a male spouse of one of the White House principals.

Almost three years in to this position, Emhoff said that circumstances, more than anything else, have defined what he does. In the past year in particular, he has become a leading voice on antisemitism, adding to a portfolio that has included such other issues as gender equity and mental health.

The role, Emhoff said in an interview with Deadline this week,...

Nick Fuentes, the hate leader who dined at Mar-a-Lago last year with Donald Trump and Kanye West, is calling for a genocide of “perfidious Jews” and other non-Christians. “When we take power,” he said a Dec. 8 livestream, “they need to be given the death penalty, straight up.”

Fuentes leads an “America First” movement of young white nationalists who call themselves “Groypers.” One of the country’s most insidious racists, Fuentes denies the Holocaust and has increasingly advocated for a violent form of Christian nationalism, as epitomized by his Friday remarks.

Following an antisemitic blitz in late 2022, Kanye West returned to radio with new track “Vultures” and appeared to double down on his controversial statements.

The song, which features Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Durk and Bump J., premiered Friday night on Wpwx Power 92 Chicago. More than halfway through the song, West raps, “How I’m antisemitic, I just fucked a Jewish bitch.” The track has not yet been officially released on streaming platforms.

Rep. Eric Swalwell took Rep. Jim Jordan to task over his past tolerance of antisemitic statements during a Wednesday hearing of the House Judiciary Committee. Jordan, the committee’s chairman, convened the hearing to debate free speech on college campuses and discuss recent collegiate protests related to Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.

After Jordan (R-Ohio) referenced antisemitism on campuses, Swalwell (D-Calif.) brought up a tweet from the House Judiciary GOP’s X (formerly Twitter) account, which is controlled by Jordan. On Oct. 6 of last year,...

Bad news for those expecting Kanye West to follow through with his 2024 run for president: The rapper’s own attorney has confirmed that the campaign is over before it really got off the ground.

“He’s not a candidate for office in 2024,” Ye’s attorney Bruce Marks told Rolling Stone. An unnamed source also said the likelihood of a presidential bid is “beyond remote,” with another adding, “There’s no campaign structure or anything along those lines in place.”

West announced his 2024 run in November 2022, and briefly enlisted Milo Yiannopoulos as his campaign manager before firing the alt-right provocateur less than one month in. Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes took command of West’s political team until May, when Yiannopoulos came back into power and proclaimed himself the “director of political operations” of “YE24.”

However, an October filing with the Federal Election Commission by West’s political committee, Kanye 2020, no longer lists Yiannopoulos on its payroll.

YE24, we hardly knew ye. The prospect of a Kanye West presidential run this election cycle appears dead. Ye’s personal attorney Bruce Marks, who is advising the wind-down of the rapper’s campaign apparatus, tells Rolling Stone: “He’s not a candidate for office in 2024.”

Evidence of the decision not to pursue a presidential bid is reflected in the October Federal Election Commission filing by Ye’s political committee, Kanye 2020, which steered Ye’s oddball presidential bid three years ago and was used by the rapper to test the waters for a 2024 run.

As verified accounts on X, formerly Twitter, continue to spread misinformation on the violent conflict between Hamas and Israel, Elon Musk directed his nearly 160 million X followers to follow accounts known for disseminating lies.

Forrest Gump famously said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Forrest Gump clearly never spent a Wednesday night tuning into a much-hyped interview between livestreamer Adin Ross and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, which was crashed by masculinity influencer and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate.

More than 330,000 people tuned into the livestream on Kick Wednesday night, according to streaming data, which featured not the dictator himself, but a Hong Kong native in a pinstriped suit that looked like it had been pulled from a Sheboygan dinner theater production of Guys and Dolls.

Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of Adl, the Anti-Defamation League, responded to Twitter/X owner’s threat to sue the organization by pointing to the rise in antisemitism across the country.

In an appearance on CNN Primetime, Greenblatt told host Abby Phillip, “The reality is, this claim that Elon wants to sue us — look, I can’t really tell you what’s in his head. I’ve read the same tweets that you have.

“But what’s alarming is the rise of antisemitism across the country. Like, we’ve got to see the big picture here. Literally, anti-Jewish acts have reached historic levels in the United States. The highest number we’ve seen in 40-some-odd years of tracking it.”

Over the weekend, Musk threatened to sue the Adl “to clear our platform’s name on the matter of anti-Semitism.” He accused the Adl of making “unfounded accusations” against Twitter/X that has scared off advertisers.

While much of America enjoyed a relaxing Labor Day weekend of cookouts and beach trips, X (formerly known as Twitter) owner Elon Musk was doubling down on his absurd claims that the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish nonprofit, had somehow tanked the website he personally ran into the ground.

The accusations began last week, after Adl director Jonathan Greenblatt had a meeting with X CEO Linda Yaccarino to discuss the prevalence of hate speech on the platform. This kicked off a trending hashtag campaign, #BanTheADL, predicated on the groundless idea that...

A hashtag campaign pushed by right-wing ideologues and rife with antisemitic content is trending on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, and being shown support by owner Elon Musk. It’s a new low for a platform that has seemingly abandoned the fight against hate speech.

A Sunday newsletter from the office of Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Az.) featured a link to an antisemitic website known for promoting conspiracies ranging from QAnon to Holocaust denial, according to a report from the progressive nonprofit Media Matters For America.

The newsletter included a link to Ussa News, which boasts the tagline “do not let this happen to our country ☭.” Despite Gosar condemning antisemitism in the bulletin, Ussa is rampant with antisemitic language, conspiracy theories about Jewish people, and reposted or re-promoted content from Neo-Nazi blogs.

On Tuesday, Breitbart revealed that Pedro Gonzalez, a prominent conservative influencer and supporter of Ron DeSantis, sent a slew of nakedly antisemitic messages. Gonzalez responded on Twitter by claiming that the messages, which were sent in 2019 and 2020, were from “a different, dumb season of my life,” while accusing Donald Trump supporters of leaking them as part of a “smear” campaign.

Fresh Kanye West antisemitism accusations have emerged in a BBC documentary charting the recent times of the troubled artist.

In The Trouble with KanYe, which launches tonight UK time on BBC Two and is paired with a podcast, the rapper’s former business partner Alex Klein accuses him of anti-Jewish remarks when the pair parted ways.

Klein created West’s Stem Player for his Donda 2 album but the pair broke contact following West’s prior antisemitic remarks, according to Klein, who claims this led to West’s outburst, which is revealed in the doc.

“Kanye was very angry you know, he was saying ‘I feel like I wanna smack you’ and ‘you’re exactly like the other Jews’ – almost relishing and reveling in how offensive he could be, using these phrases hoping to hurt me,” Klein says in the documentary. “I asked him and I said ‘Do you really think...

In August 2020, Instagram influencer Aliza Jane appeared on No Jumper, the massively popular podcast whose content bounces from hip-hop to current events to, more recently, the odd appearance by alt-right polemicists. During her episode, Jane discussed alleged sexual encounters with multiple members of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, and said R&b singer Trey Songz held her in a hotel against her will and urinated on her. Songz denied all of the allegations, but the comments went viral, causing Jane, she says, to lose her job and get kicked out of her parents’ home.

Alex Jones has a new conspiracy theory: That his infamous interview of Kanye West, where Ye declared his love for Hitler, was an elaborate “setup” — orchestrated by “eugenicist super Nazis” who control the “New World Order.”

Jones made the bizarre declaration during an InfoWars broadcast last week. Jones — a tireless conspiracy theorist who insists that freedom loving Americans are under assault — declared that Kanye West had been turned into a pawn by a tyrannical elite whose dark ambitions make “Hitler look like a lightweight.”

Louis Theroux is not comfortable with the disruptor moniker. He almost recoils at the notion, sitting back in his chair, chewing over the word and its literal, historical and symbolic connotations. “It has become a cliché; it’s definitely a cliché,” he eventually says.

But then comes one of the pensive expressions Theroux is famed for. His eyes fixed behind black-rimmed glasses. A man silently arguing with himself, jostling for clarity of thought. Suddenly, a revelation. Maybe he is a disruptor after all — or at least he once was.

“There’s a sense in which I came along in my presenting work and was a bit of a disruptor,” Theroux decides. “I took elements of conventional presenting and elements of classical vérité filmmaking and combined them.”

The revelation that Kanye West campaign insider Milo Yiannopoulos charged the Marjorie Taylor Green congressional campaign $7,000 for the purchase of Ye24.com — the website of the Nazi-loving rapper’s prospective 2024 presidential campaign — is rotten news for the Maga lawmaker from Georgia.

Wednesday morning, Greene sent out a statement from her consultant Isaiah Wartman, whose credit card Yiannopoulos used to buy Ye24.com: “Congresswoman Greene knew nothing about the gross negligence made by a vendor and is being unfairly attacked as a result,” Wartman said. “The campaign was told the purchase was refunded.

The return of alt-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos to Kanye West’s political team may be more sizzle than substance.

Yiannopoulos made a splash Thursday, insisting he’d been reinstated to the campaign as its “director of political operations,” and confirming that he was the author of a leaked email to Nick Fuentes purporting to “terminate” the white supremacist from any official role on the nascent Ye24 campaign.

But a source inside the campaign tells Rolling Stone that the takeover Yiannopoulos is boasting about is “fake news” — or at least greatly exaggerated.

If you thought there was a chance Kanye West was done associating with the far-right’s bottom-of-the-barrel personalities, dispel the notion from your mind. Despite having previously fired right-wing sleezebag Milo Yiannopoulos from his pseudo-presidential “campaign,” Ye has brought him back into the fold to serve as manager for his election run.

Among his first tasks as reinstated Ye sidekick, Yiannopoulos fired West’s white nationalist advisor Nick Fuentes via email, originally posted by TMZ, and verified by Rolling Stone.

“As you may know, I have been in Los Angeles...

Kanye West has rehired noxious right wing troll Milo Yiannopoulos to help him with his 2024 presidential bid. In turn, Yiannopoulos has fired white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and political advisor Ali Alexander in an email, Rolling Stone confirmed Thursday.

“As you may know, I have been in Los Angeles for the past week with Ye, discussing his presidential aspirations,” Yiannopoulos wrote in an email to Fuentes posted on gossip site TMZ. “The result of those discussions is that I will be taking the reins once again as director of his political operations.

Stop the Steal activist Ali Alexander has released an apology after being accused of making unwanted sexual advances and demands of young men in his political orbit. His longtime ally, the white supremacist Nick Fuentes, told listeners of his podcast that Alexander is “bowing out of public life.”

“I apologize for any inappropriate messages sent over the years. Forgive me,” Alexander wrote in a statement posted to his Telegram channel. He referred to “battling Ssa” — which appears to be an acronym for same-sex attraction — and insisted he’d “repented before God.

Kanye West’s presidential campaign claimed more than $30,000 in payments to white nationalist Nick Fuentes in its latest Federal Election Commission (Fec) filing. Fuentes first burst onto the alt-right scene following the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va.

The 2023 payments to Fuentes came in January and February when the campaign gave him $20,000 for “archival services” and another $10,296.96 for “travel reimbursement.” According to the Anti-Defamation League, Fuentes is a “white supremacist leader, organizer and podcaster who seeks to forge a white nationalist alternative to the mainstream GOP.”

On Thursday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel spent quite a bit of time talking about the latest in the many, many legal problems disgraced ex-president Donald Trump is facing.

But the ABC star also poked some fun at the lawsuit Trump filed against his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, dubbing their weird journey from longtime employer/employees and co-conspirators to enemies “the circle jerk of life.”

“You know, Donald Trump was in — you’re not gonna believe this — he was in court today. He’s in court in New York to be deposed in one of the 70 or 80 cases against him,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “Before his deposition, his little thumbs took a trip to Truth Social to lash out at Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, who has accused him of fraud.”

The news led to backlash both inside and outside Trump’s team. “Hell fucking no,” a campaign official told Rolling Stone, describing heavy internal resistance to bringing Loomer into the fold.

Kanye West returned to Instagram on Friday with his first post of 2023, announcing that he “likes Jewish people again,” after seeing Jonah Hill‘s performance in 21 Jump Street.

West attracted controversy in October 2022 when he wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt at his fashion show in Paris.

It’s hard out there for a right-wing drag queen.

When a 6’2”, 190 pound man entered the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center outside Washington, D.C. — decked out in a fabulous blond wig, a crown of flowers, and a floor-length red-white-and-blue dress — he was not there to protest the Conservative Political Action Conference.

A blue sash proclaimed the name of Ryan Woods’ drag persona in sparkly letters: “Lady Maga USA.” The floor-length ensemble, he’d explain, was an homage to Abigail Adams, Marie Antoinette and Scarlett O’Hara. The dress was festooned with yellow ribbons,...
