The 19-time All-Star suggested that despite Trump and Ye disrespecting the country, they still had a chance of winning. Moreover, he pointed out that Trump and West ridiculed the country’s democratic process just for their own selfish benefits. Safe to say, Kareem believes that neither Ye nor Trump deserve to be the POTUS.

Last Week, Kanye West made an appearance on Alex Jones’ ‘Inforwars’ show in a masked look. Shockingly, the controversial rapper praised Adolf Hitler. He reckoned that every human brought value to the table, especially Hitler. Ye claimed to be in love with Hitler and the Nazis, suggesting that Germany was lucky to have a leader like Hitler.

Joe Biden responds to Ye’s comments about Hitler

POTUS Joe Biden took to Twitter to address Kanye West’s controversial comments about the Holocaust, Hitler, and the Nazis. Biden reminded everyone that the Holocaust did happen and clarified that Hitler was a demonic figure in the history of humanity.

Further, Joe Biden wrote“And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides. Silence is complicity.”
