Possibly the funniest reaction to this Kanye tweet was Candace Owens' reaction.
She did a little video expressing her thoughts about the Kanye tweet and I'm gonna play the audio.
That was the tweet.
And people subsequently demanded that the tweet be taken down.
So, the tweet, once again, I'm a bit sleepy tonight, but when I wake up I'm going DEATHCON 3 ON JEWISH PEOPLE!
Okay, so, let's listen to her response.
That was the tweet.
And people subsequently demanded that the tweet be taken down for anti-semitism.
Now, if you are an honest person, You did not think this tweet was anti-semitic.
You did not think that he wrote this tweet because he hates or wants to genocide Jewish people.
Candace Owens, I should say, is giving this little monologue from her show At The Daily Wire, which is owned by Ben Shapiro, famous conservative Jew, who today said, yes, obviously Kanye West's tweets were anti-Semitic and bad.
Kanye decided that he was going to go full anti-Semitic.
And the comments that he put out, they are anti-Semitic.
I mean, there's no two ways about them.
Yeah, you really gotta twist it.
To say that's not what it is, is like, it's impossible.
And it's very funny to watch Candace Owens, who doesn't have like a lot of power.
She's not like a power broker, especially not in the Daily Wire.
I mean, you know, they like her.
Ben Shapiro likes her for obvious reasons.
But to sit here and call your employer a liar because he does think saying you're going DEFCON 3 on Jewish people is anti-Semitic!
It's so funny it's like the heart the reason that the the only reason it's like hard to take seriously is because well obviously he's not doing well mentally but it's also like the phrasing used like I'm about to open up a can of whoop-ass on on Jewish people if if this was tweeted out by like a white high schooler like we need the FBI and they like we need they need their house raided You know, especially like if they like live within a certain distance of a synagogue.
Yeah, that's fair.
But if it's Kanye, we're like, this sucks, but like, I'm not, I'm not, I don't know what your, your capacity of that is.
So you just, it's.
Sounds... Because that's not even the phrase, right?
Like, DEF CON is not a thing, right?
It's a death metal convention.
You get to meet the dudes from Napalm Death.
No, yeah, DEF CON.
Yeah, so that flub makes it sound even gnarlier, which I love.
It makes it even way more intense, you know?
That's true, yeah.
Because if you say DEFCON, you're like, uh-oh, he's going to be extra critical.
But if you say DEFCON, you're like, ooh, that sounds bad.
That sounds worse than just talking.
That sounds like you're going to cause harm now.
Um, I would like to meet a obituary in a conference type setting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Obituary panel.
Yeah.
Obituary panel.
Um, what was I going to say here?
Oh yeah.
This is, Kanye's tweet is like, if that woman who was like, that infamous Facebook comment from that woman who was like, you better watch your ass ISIS.
Cause I'm going to go over there and I'm going to fuck you up.
Yeah.
If that woman had, like, 50 million followers on Twitter.
Yeah.
Because maybe she could have, like, funded it.
Like, actually gone over there.
More from Candace Owens.
And people subsequently demanded that the tweet be taken down for anti-Semitism.
Now, if you are an honest person, You did not think this tweet was anti-Semitic.
You did not think that he wrote this tweet because he hates or wants to genocide Jewish people.
This does not represent the beginning of the Holocaust.
That's if you're an honest person, you will admit that.
Right?
If you're an honest person, when you read this tweet, you had no idea what the hell he was talking about.
I had no idea when I read this tweet what the hell he was talking about.
What could he mean?
This tweet inspired questions, not Oh, it inspired questions.
Inspired a Jewish question, in fact.
I mean, what does DEFCON mean?
Like, last time, you know, the kids, bad means good these days.
Well, listen.
Answers.
First and foremost, what is DEFCON 3?
Did he mean DEFCON 3?
I think he did, yeah.
Which would be a military defense position, not an offense, for those of you that are- Hell yeah!
Oh!
Oh!
He was entering a defensive position.
Idiots.
What does that look like to him?
If I can just get really racist and he's like, bought a bunch of garlic.
Crucifix is everywhere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, I love, I love the idea of, I mean, this is, this is like grade A pedantry.
