The group &#8211; identified in footage that went viral as including Nick Fuentes, Sneako, Clavicular, Myron, Justin waller, and Andrew and Tristan Tate &#8211; filmed themselves blasting the track in a limousine before it was played inside the club. Meiner, who is Jewish and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/officials-say-meena-harris-social-media-posts-could-interfere-with-u-s-diplomacy-with-india\/\" title=\"Officials say Meena Harris social media posts could interfere with U.S. diplomacy with India\">noted family members<\/a> were killed in the Holocaust, condemned the chanting of Nazi slogans and called the incident an affront to the memory of Holocaust victims. Vend\u00f4me issued an apology, saying it does not condone antisemitism or hate speech, while some in the filmed group dismissed criticism on social media. The song, which contains explicit Nazi references, had been retitled &#8220;Hallelujah&#8221; on streaming services; the episode drew millions of views and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >renewed attention amid broader concerns<\/a> about antisemitism and the presence of these figures in Florida.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Miami Beach mayor &lsquo;disgusted&rsquo; by nightclub playing Kanye West song<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2470933\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner condemned a group of internet personalities &ldquo;glorifying Hitler&rdquo; by requesting the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/premium\/3839855\/abandon-all-hope-ye-who-enter-here-in-whose-name-doumentary-review\/\">Ye song &ldquo;Heil Hitler&rdquo;<\/a> at a nightclub Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Meiner, a Jew himself who wears the yarmulke, was reacting to white nationalist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/3913396\/brett-cooper-warns-efforts-to-censor-nick-fuentes-will-only-prompt-more-interest\/\">Nick Fuentes<\/a>, influencers Sneako, Clavicular, Myron, Justin Waller, and alleged human traffickers <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/3483662\/andrew-tate-west-strong-monogamy-polygamy\/\">Andrew Tate<\/a> and Tristan Tate, who were in Miami Beach Sunday night.
