The artist now known as Ye stormed out of a sit-down with the reactionary social-media performer Tim Pool, after the host lightly pushed back on Ye’s meandering, paranoid, and yet largely uninterrupted antisemitic rant that opened the show.

Evidently, because Pool refused to play into one of the oldest antisemitic tropes around, Ye considered it a bridge too far.

Earlier in the show, he’d praised Fuentes to the hilt, calling the Charlottesville marcher, “Stop the Steal” pusher, and pro-Hitler pundit the “most extraordinary, brilliant political commentator of his generation.” Yiannopolous at times has claimed Jewish lineage himself, but that self-identification has apparently been dropped after he tumbled farther to the fringes of the conservative media ecosystem, along with an insistence that he’d cured himself of his homosexuality and posted threats about harming another far-right personality’s dog.

As recently as last week, Pool hosted a pundit affiliated with the hard-right Groyper movement, which Fuentes ostensibly leads.

Though Pool pushed back more on Monday than he normally does—and after Ye and his campaign staff walked out in a huff, Pool did forcefully denounce antisemitism on air—he still tried to find common ground.

But “you're here working with or for, you know, one of the most powerful Black men.” (Pool did not immediately respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment.).

Apparently the tweeted announcement Pool made earlier Monday about Ye, Yiannopoulos, and Fuentes’ appearance had spurred some of Pool’s “good conservative friends,” as he put it, to reach out, telling him that giving unreconstructed bigots a platform as big as his was a mistake.

They’re bad people,” Pool claimed he was told.
