Howard Stern might be the most famous shock jock of his era but it appears he’s using his massive platform to call out the recent comments made by Ye aka Kanye West. During a broadcast of his wildly popular radio show, Stern compared the Chicago superstar to Adolf Hitler.
Howard Stern unnecessarily opened his jabs at Kanye West to say he doesn’t know much about him because he’s not into the “rap scene” but then launched into a discussion about Ye’s antics of late. Stern, 68, then turned his attention to Ye’s antisemitic comments and how tough it was for him growing up Jewish in New York.
Stern then turned his attention to Ye’s recent appearance on Chris Cuomo’s NewsNation show in which Ye performed the interview from a moving car.
“If a newspaper article doesn’t point out the fact that you’re some sort of designer or genius, maybe that’s not because they’re Jewish, but maybe because they just don’t put that much thought into who the f*ck you are and what your business is,” Stern said.
“Kanye used to be fun crazy. Now he’s like Hitler,” Stern concluded in the segment on Ye.
On Twitter, Howard Stern is trending due to his comments on Ye with some mentioning the fact that the radio host himself has a problematic past. We’ve got reactions from all sides below.

Yes, Howard Stern has a history of being problematic. No one is saying he’s perfect but you know what else is problematic? Kanye West talking about murdering Jews.

Watching conservatives lose their minds because Howard Stern criticized Kanye tells you everything you need to know about conservatives.

BREAKING: Shock jock Howard Stern says he's "really tired" of people excusing Jew-hater Kanye West's behavior by saying he's "mentally ill," says his hateful comments are the same "horseshit" he faced growing up Jewish and "fuck" the defenses of him. RT IF YOU THINK HE NAILED IT!

The same people who think Howard Stern could not have evolved in the 30 years since he painted strippers' breasts for Easter want you to believe that thrice married adulterous grifter Donald Trump is a paragon of Christian virtue.

I don't co sign Kanye, but Howard Stern is proof how much white racists love any opportunity to call a black person racist.
Makes them feel better about and justified in their own racism.
Howard Stern is a major anti black racist and has been for decades. https://t.co/8pfg6s4199

Howard Stern shouldn’t be surprised that Kanye West, who is a walking billboard for poor mental health, has so many enablers. Conservatives wouldn’t know crazy if it took over the Oval Office.

Republicans hate Howard Stern when without Stern there would be no Joe Rogan.

So the GQP and the Tankie wing of the Left are losing it bc Howard Stern called out Kanye's bigotry?
Have about a dozen seats: as with his rebuke of antivaxxers, Howard Stern is right.
