A 2018 tweet from comedian Zack Fox has been making the rounds after Kanye West claimed he “likes Hitler”.
The controversial rapper, also known as Ye, appeared on right-wing commentator Alex Jones’s web streaming show InfoWars on Thursday (1 December).
“You’re not Hitler, you’re not a Nazi, so you don’t deserve to be demonised,” Jones told West.
In response, the “All Falls Down” rapper said: “Well, I see good things about Hitler also.”
He later said as the cameras cut to a commercial break: “I like Hitler.”
Among the reaction, a screenshot of an old tweet from comedian Zack Fox has been recirculated on the platform.
In a tweet posted originally in September 2018, Fox said: “Highly recommend getting off the Kanye train before it inevitably reaches the 'Hitler was a good guy' stop.”

Fellow comedian Felonious Munk reposted Fox’s tweet on Thursday and added the caption: “My son told y’all.”
In May 2018, he remarked that “slavery was a choice” during an interview with TMZ. He had also revealed himself as a supporter of Donald Trump during his presidential campaign.
