The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.

What's insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I'm sure someone at FOX will say "We had no idea he would put this on his site", which we'll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.

At least the next Superbowl halftime show is going to be interesting:

Guys, just because he went on Alex Jones to make racist jokes and talk about how much he loves Hitler doesn't mean he's a nazi

I heard it didn't air in all regions?

Do we know when the website was changed? He could well have changed it the moment the advert went live.

I was on his website yesterday and there was no swastika then. There was "white lives matter" and a bunch of nazi-adjacent symbols with plausible deniability but no outright swastika.

The commercial itself didn’t feature the shirt or any nazi imagery. It was a 30 second clip of Kanye in a dentists chair telling you to visit his website. It only aired in LA.

I don’t understand this timeline.

I saw it. I'm not in Louisiana or Los Angeles.
