The Former Kanye West Is Running for President Again, Allying With Fascists

Ye, the fabulously successful musical and fashion artist formerly known as Kanye West, appears to be running for president for a second time. He has launched a "Ye24" campaign seemingly managed and shaped by, first, alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, soon thereafter joined by fascist online personality and political commentator Nick Fuentes.

This nascent campaign made news last week by apparently fooling former President Donald Trump into the bad-optics choice of eating dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Fuentes, a much-banned character (and at least formerly enormous Trump supporter) whose public pronouncements are full of racism, antisemitism, and an open desire to impose his political will with violent force, under the guise of Christian nationalism.
