Nazis were photographed standing on an overpass on the 405, the massive interstate that is like the spine of Los Angeles on Saturday. Among the banners hanging over the rushing cars were "Honk if you know Kanye is right about the Jews."

Another banner cited Rev. 3:8, which reads, "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."

One major piece of the conversation is around the sports company Adidas, which has chosen Kanye to be a spokesperson and has yet to drop him from their brand despite numerous antisemitic comments attacking Jewish people.

Most of the men in the photos were wearing masks to hide their identities, noted former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Juliette Kayyem.

1. Adidas headquarters is Portland OR?

I'm not sure about that.

If so, it seems like their executive parking lot would find a lot of protestors tomorrow morning at 8 a.m.

2. I didn't catch that. Nike is in Oregon; Adidas is in Germany.

Where did you read that?

3. Adidas has lost nearly 17% of its stock value with the company continuing to support Kanye West.
