Jon Stewart Is Over Kanye West, Trump's Antisemitic 'B.S.' | HuffPost Entertainment

Jon Stewart said it blows his mind how easily antisemitism flows out of people while singling out rapper Kanye West and former President Donald Trump for their recent comments about Jewish people.

On The Problem With Jon Stewart podcast on Wednesday, Stewart discussed Wests remarks about Jewish people in business as well as Trumps call for Jewish people to get their act together .

West, who legally changed his name to Ye and tweeted that he would go death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE earlier this month, has since doubled down on antisemitic remarks on several media platforms in recent weeks. During an interview with Piers Morgan on Wednesday, West said he was absolutely not sorry for his death con 3 comment and claimed he was sorry for the people that he hurt.

Trump said Jews in the U.S. dont show him enough appreciation and claimed that they need to get their act together... before it is too lat e!

Stewart, who was raised Jewish, described Trumps comment as one of the most explicit expressions of just pure Jews have only loyalty to Israel.

I dont know that it even made the Top 10 antisemitic bullshit of the week, Stewart said. In fact, the word antisemitic just doesnt even carry it anymore. Its just weird Jew paranoia bullshit that, its mind-blowing to me how easily it flows from peoples mouths and fucking everybodys just like, Wow, that was weird.

Stewart also said West thinks a Jewish guy whos a dick to him in business is part of a cabal, a conspiracy Chris Cuomo checked the rapper on this week .

But at least we know now what Candace Owens says in private. I think its pretty clear that thats the shit thats flying around, Stewart said. So, what do you guys make of someone whose work is beloved, who just decides in the middle of this to be like, And if I wasnt getting fucked over by the Jews, everything would be working out fine? And youre like, Youre a billionaire thats married to the Kardashians. Like, how bad have we been fucking you?
