Fox News hosts forced to make on-air U-turn over support for Kanye West
Kanye West continued to air “more hate speech and extremely dangerous stereotypes” during a taping of a new episode of LeBron James’s YouTube talk show Uninterrupted The Shop.
The Shop, which is produced by James and his business manager, Maverick Carter, said in a statement first issued to Andscape on Tuesday that they would be canning the episode taped with Ye this week and would not be disclosing the contents of what was specifically said, but apologised to the crew and guests for “believing Kanye wanted a different conversation”.
“Hate speech should never have an audience,” said Mr Carter.
Leaked video footage from earlier on Tuesday also showed that West reportedly made a string of anti-semitic comments that were edited out of his interview with Tucker Carlson.
The rapper, who remains banned from Twitter and Instagram for a string of separate anti-Semitic posts, also made bizarre statements that “fake children” had been put in his home to manipulate his own children. The controversial fashion mogul also talked about having visions of “kinetic energy” that he is sent by God.

Trump-endorsed Missouri Senate candidate tweets, and deletes, support for Kanye West
A Trump-endorsed candidate for Missouri Senate tweeted his support for Kanye West on Monday, days after the rapper had unleashed separate antisemitic attacks on Twitter and Instagram that resulted in him getting booted from both platforms.
“America needs a Kanye West Kid Rock tour. Let’s go!” tweeted Missouri Attorney General and Republican Senate candidate Eric Schmitt.
That tweet, posted on Monday, can no longer be found on the Republican’s Twitter feed, as it appears to have been deleted.
Mr Schmitt seemed to gain the backing of the former president this past summer ahead of the Republican primary race against Eric Greiten, but at the time, it was still unclear which candidate Trump was referring to as he simply said he’d be endorsing “Eric”.

Mehdi Hasan calls out Fox News after video tapes of Kanye West interview unearthed
Mehdi Hasan took Fox News to task after unaired versions of the network’s two-part interview with Kanye West were unearthed and showed the rapper making a string of anti-Semitic comments that were edited out of his interview with host Tucker Carlson.
“Here’s a thought: neither the political party nor the TV network that excused or ignored Trump’s antisemitism, Greene’s antisemitism, Gosar’s antisemitism, and now Kanye West’s antisemitism should probably never be taken seriously again on the issue of antisemitism,” tweeted the MSNBC host.
