Case in point, the artist formerly known as Kanye West has been suspended from Twitter, again—this time for posting a swastika.

This comes on the heels of Kanye losing all kinds of endorsement deals following his antisemitic statements. On the bright side for Ye, he was granted equal access to their kids and even picked up North West from school Tuesday and took her to the mall. Still, for someone who lost his billionaire status overnight and might continue to lose out on millions going forward as he continues to push his far-right poin...
