With two years to go until the next presidential election, no one actually knows who is going to win the GOP nomination. But, if recent polls are anything to go by, there’s a good chance it could be Donald Trump. That’s deeply terrifying for a very long list of reasons, not the least of which is the 45th president’s open embrace of unabashed antisemites, one of whom declared in an interview on Thursday, “There are a lot of things I love about Hitler.”

One week after having dinner with Trump (and white supremacist Nick Fuentes), the artist formerly known as Kanye West praised Hitler to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, during a podcast in which he continued his virulent attacks on Jewish people. Apparently not understanding that Jones—who, it should be noted, is a bag of garbage in human form—was trying to give him an out when he said, “You’re not Hitler, you’re not a Nazi, you don’t deserve to be called that and demonized,” Ye responded: “Well, I see good things about Hitler also. I love everyone, and Jewish people are not going to tell me, ‘You can love us…but this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I used as a musician, you can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good.’ And I’m done with that…every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

At another point, in response to Jones saying, “I don’t like Nazis,” Ye, who wore a black hood over his face and head throughout the interview, shot back, “I like Hitler.”

Elsewhere, he countered Jones’s stating that “the Nazis, in my view, were thugs…they did a lot of really bad things” with: “They did good things too, we’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all the time.”
