Alyssa Farah Griffin Addresses Kanye West’s Controversial Statements
In a recent broadcast of ‘The View,’ co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin addressed the controversy surrounding Kanye West’s antisemitic remarks. Griffin emphasized that mental health challenges should not serve as a justification for hate speech, stating, “I feel like, for some reason, Kanye has been given a pass. I know there’s a perception that he may have some mental health issues, but there are tens of millions of people around this country who have mental health issues, who aren’t saying bigoted, racist, antisemitic things.”
The Importance of Holding Influential Figures Accountable
Griffin further highlighted the responsibility that comes with influence, noting that West’s platform could negatively impact his followers. She asserted, “He does have influence. There are people who are looking to him—especially young people. He should not be normalized; he needs to be called out.”
Co-Hosts Weigh In on the Discussion
Other co-hosts of ‘The View’ joined the conversation, expressing their concerns over West’s actions. Sunny Hostin remarked on the historical alliance between African American and Jewish communities, stating, “The African-American community and the Jewish community have always been tied because both communities have been so oppressed… The fact that a Black man would be so openly vile and antisemitic, it’s just so jarring to me.”
