WATCH Jim Jordan Have An Angry Meltdown When Asked About His Pro-Kanye West Tweet

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) got very upset when Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) questioned him about a tweet sent out on October 7 from the account of Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee and proceeded to have a meltdown that was captured by C-SPAN.

Swalwell asked Jordan if he would repudiate failed former president Donald Trump for saying that parts of the U.S. Constitution should be “terminated” and him returned to the presidency.

Jordan replied that Trump had “clarified” those demands, even though the ex-president has yet to stop saying that he won the 2020 election.

But when Swalwell brought up the October tweet, Jordan lost it.

Here’s the tweet, which was later deleted:

Confronted with the tweet, Jordan exclaimed, “That tweet was not on our account. That tweet was removed.”

Actually, the tweet was on the House Judiciary GOP’s Twitter account for weeks and only vanished after West made blatantly anti-Semitic comments and praised Adolf Hitler.

The tweet was on the account of Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee. Jordan, as the ranking Republican on the committee, controls that account and what gets posted on it.

Sorry, Jim, but you’re busted, and your denials confirm what we’ve long suspected about the disgusting bigotry, racism, and hatred that runs rampant in the GOP.

Kanye West Tells Proud Boys Founder That Jews Need To ‘Forgive Hitler’ In Latest Rant

Rapper Kanye West (a.k.a. Ye) doubled and tripled down on his recent vile anti-Semitic comments, telling Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes on Monday that Jews need to “forgive Hitler” for the Holocaust.

Rolling Stone reports that West made his remarks on Censored.TV, a right-wing platform, with McInnes telling his guest that he was hoping to “talk him off the ledge” and keep him from “becoming an anti-Semite or a Nazi.”

But rather than take the olive branch being offered to him, West told the host:

“Jews should work for Christians. I’ll hire a Jewish person in a second if I knew they weren’t a spy and I could look through their phone and follow through their house and have a camera all in their living room.”

West added:

“We make our reputations, that was made by Jewish people. But some of it’s incorrect. Also, the Holocaust is not the only holocaust, so for them to take that and claim — we have abortion right now. That’s eugenics, that’s genocide. That’s a holocaust that we’re dealing with right now, so because Jewish people control the majority of the media, along with banks, along with real estate, along with malls.”

McInnes then told the rapper that he believed Jews were “liberal elites,” along with former President Barack Obama and current Vice President Kamala Harris, which led West to blame Jews for pornography, which he called a “gas chamber,” a clear and disgusting reference to the deaths of over 6 million Jews in Nazi concentration camps and crematoriums.

“They can control the narrative. History is written by the winners.”

Last week, West told InfoWars host Alex Jones that Hitler and the Nazis did “good things.”

“Well, I see good things about Hitler, also. I love everyone. The Jewish people are not going to tell me, you know, you can love us and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography.

“But this guy that invented highways and invented the very microphone that I use as a musician. You can’t say out loud that this person never did anything good and I’m done with that, I’m done with the classifications, and every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

Stock Price Of Trump’s ‘Truth Social’ Site Plummets After Kanye West Moves To Buy Parler

While disgraced former president Donald Trump may pretend to be friends with rapper Kanye West, a move West made to buy the right-wing Parler social media site has negatively impacted the stock price of Trump’s Truth Social site.

Forbes reports that in Monday trading, Trump’s company lost a full 8% of its share price.

Shares of Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC), the special purpose acquisition company with turbulent plans to merge with Truth Social’s parent Trump Media and Technology Group, fell 8% to $16.11 Monday as a new brash billionaire threw his hat into the conservative social media ring.

Even worse for Trump is the fact that shares of DWAC are down 70% so far this year as Elon Musk begins to make rumblings about going through with his plans to acquire Twitter, a promise Musk has previously made and then backed away from.

West was booted from Twitter and Instagram for anti-Semitic comments in which he suggested that he was planning to carry out violence against Jews, with The Washington Post reporting:

His account, @kanyewest, was “locked for violating Twitter’s policies,” a Twitter spokesperson said in an email Sunday, declining to state which policy he had violated. The account shows that a recent tweet violated Twitter rules.

Though the tweet is no longer visible on his account, screenshots shared widely on social media show that Ye had said he would go “death con 3” on “JEWISH PEOPLE,” an apparent reference to Defcon, the U.S. military defense readiness system. In the tweet, he used antisemitic tropes and said he could not be antisemitic “because black people are actually Jew also.”

A spokesperson for Meta, the parent company of Instagram formerly known as Facebook, said in an email that the platform “deleted content from @kanyewest for violating our policies and placed a restriction on the account. We may place restrictions on accounts that repeatedly break our rules, for example, we may temporarily restrict them from posting, commenting, or sending DMs.” Screenshots of the post show that Ye had posted an apparent conversation with the rapper Diddy, employing antisemitic tropes to allege that he was being influenced by Jewish people.

For months how, there have been reports that the inability of Trump and others to raise additional capital to keep Truth Social afloat will lead to a financial collapse before the end of 2022.
