Michigan Running Back Says Apparent Antisemitic Retweet ‘a Glitch’

Michigan running back Donovan Edwards addressed an antisemitic tweet the sophomore appeared to retweet in a post Thursday. 

“The retweet was a glitch,” he wrote. “I speak for myself. I know what’s in my heart. I am unequivocally against racism, exploitation & oppression in all forms, including stereotyping and trafficking in hate. I have nothing but love for others & I never judge anyone based on race or religion.”

The retweet in question featured a spliced video including an interview from Ye, formerly known as the rapper Kanye West, and a music executive being interviewed by Charlamagne tha God, a TV and radio personality. The tweet had the caption, “Jewish people will literally tell you that they want you to kill your own and humiliate your women simply because they have children to feed.”
