Ye West returns to Twitter with tribute to Takeoff before immediately doubling down on antisemitim

Kanye West has allowed himself two entirely normal tweets about the death of Migos member Takeoff, before doubling down yet again on antisemitism.

Takeoff was shot dead outside a Houston bowling alley just days before, with the 28-year-old’s passing leading to widespread mourning. West posted two tweets in tribute to the rapper, dubbing him “family”. In a case of almost comedic irony, West tweeted “love forever” before immediately shooting back into antisemitism just an hour later.

Kanye West has allowed himself two entirely normal tweets about the death of Migos member Takeoff, before doubling down yet again on antisemitism.

Following several weeks of intense discourse and shaming of West for his flagrantly horrible antisemitic views, he clearly hasn’t been shamed enough into rethinking. Ye tweeted another bible passage that puts Judaism front and center for killing Jesus of Nazareth. Quoting John 19:19, West has shown no sign of wanting to back down.

I can't say I've EVER felt sympathy for a Kardashian, but I do feel for his kids and for their mother trying to keep them away from his hateful attitudes.
