How Did Kim Kardashian Condemn Kanye West?
Kim Kardashian finally spoke against her former husband Kanye West for his hateful comments and anti-Semitic tweets. She posted on her social media channels, “Hate speech is never OK or excusable.

The posting came days after singer Boy George posted a video on his Instagram account questioning why Kardashian had not publicly addressed her ex’s behavior. “I’m appalled that Kim Kardashian hasn’t come out and added her voice to this debate because this woman has children with Kanye, so she must understand as a mother what it feels like for little Jewish children to hear these f***ing comments, how demoralizing and terrifying it must be,” he said.

Why Kanye West Is Under Fire For His Comments?
West has been making controversial claims of alleged mistreatment by Jewish people, first during an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Among other things, West posted on Twitter that he was going to go “death con 3 on Jewish people,” a play on the military alert term “Defcon.”
