Kanye West claims he 'sees good things about Hitler' during shocking interview appearance

Kanye West has said he 'sees good things about Hitler' and that he 'likes' the Nazi leader in his latest anti-Semitic outburst, according to The Mirror.

On Thursday night, the 45-year-old rapper took part in an interview with right wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Infowars, and it was during the sit down that he made horrific comments praising the dictator.

Kanye, who changed his name legally to 'Ye', covered his entire face for the interview with a hood.

Jones attempted to defend the musician, before Kanye insisted that he admired Hitler. "You’re not Hitler, you’re not a Nazi, so you don’t deserve to be demonised," Alex said before Kanye said: "Well I see good things about Hitler also."

Kanye made the disturbing comments in his latest interview (Twitter / https://www.infowars.com/)

He added: "I love everyone and Jewish people are not going to tell me, 'You can love us and you can love what we're doing to you in the contracts and you can love what we're pushing with the pornography,' but this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician, 'You can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good'.

"And I'm done with that! I'm done with the classifications. Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler."

As the show went to an advert break, Kanye added: "I like Hitler."

He also said: "They did good things too, we’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all the time."

His comments about Hitler come following Kanye's previous racist attacks on the Jewish community, which saw him temporarily banned from Twitter.

He was widely condemned when he wrote: "I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda."

As well as the social media ban, Kanye was been dropped by a number of big brands, including Adidas, something which has cost him his billionaire status.
