Kanye West-inspired merchandise is reportedly being sold by various retailers online utilizing Ne0-Nazi designs along with his Ye24 campaign logo.
Marketplaces are selling t-shirts among other items emblazoned with Kanye’s 2024 presidential logo but made within a pair of antisemitic Swastikas.
There are t-shirts also using the Swastika inside a Star of David, which Kanye tweeted out at the top of December and what ultimately led to his Twitter suspension by Elon Musk for violating the company’s hate speech guidelines.
Anti-hate groups such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Combat Antisemitism Movement have spoken out against the sale of the merchandise.
“Disturbed to see sites selling swastika-themed merch in support of Ye’s presidential bid. Some of the symbols appear to have originated among white supremacist trolls on 4chan in Nov & have since been incorporated into merch by online sellers, including print-on-demand platforms,” the ADL wrote.
“It doesn’t matter whether the sellers of this merch are trying to make a buck or to spread hatred. Reputable platforms have a responsibility to put a stop to it. Kudos to those who already have.”
