The information, which did not point out Ye by identify, stands in contrast to the actions of former President Donald Trump, who was greatly condemned for web hosting Ye and white nationalist and anti-semite Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago for a pre-Thanksgiving meal.
The previous president, who announced his 2024 presidential bid past month, wrote following the conference on Truth Social that Ye “expressed no anti-Semitism” throughout their dinner.
Biden’s information arrives immediately after a day in which Ye ramped up his antisemitic outbursts. He was suspended from Twitter by its owner Elon Musk, who mentioned Ye “once more violated our rule from incitement to violence.”
Among the tweets Ye posted was an picture of a swastika superimposed in excess of the Star of David, a Jewish symbol. Ye’s Twitter account was limited for two months in October right after he posted antisemitic remarks, but his account was restored after Musk took control of the platform.
Also on Thursday, Ye regularly talked about his appreciation for Hitler and the Nazis throughout an overall look with Fuentes on the far-ideal conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ “Infowars” exhibit.
“I like Hitler,” Ye explained at one particular position, introducing, “I love Jewish individuals, but I also enjoy Nazis.”
