Miami Beach Officials Condemn Nightclub After Antisemitic Incident Goes Viral

Miami Beach officials are condemning a nightclub after videos circulated on social media showing white nationalist influencers appearing to praise Adolf Hitler inside the venue over the weekend.

The footage, reportedly filmed at Vendôme nightclub, shows several controversial figures inside the club while the song “Heil Hitler” by Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, plays in the background. Additional video appears to show the same group later chanting the lyrics and performing Nazi salutes while riding in the back of a car.

Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner called the incident deeply disturbing and said he has requested a full investigation into how the individuals were allowed into the venue.

“These are sick, demented people who glorify someone responsible for the murder of six million Jews,” Meiner said. “Other club operators told me they actively ban these individuals. How they were allowed in and seemingly welcomed here is unacceptable.”

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava also issued a statement condemning the incident, saying the county “stands firmly against antisemitism and all forms of hate” and expects swift accountability.

Miami Beach Commissioner Joe Magazine echoed those concerns, noting the city’s strong Jewish community. “To make light of mass murder, especially in Miami Beach, is despicable,” he said. Magazine urged Vendôme’s ownership to take decisive action, including firing any staff members who enabled the incident.

Vendôme nightclub released a statement calling the videos “deeply offensive and unacceptable,” stressing that the venue does not condone antisemitism, hate speech, or prejudice. Ownership said it is conducting an internal review to determine how the song was played and promised immediate accountability.

The club added that it is reviewing safeguards to ensure its venues are not used as platforms for hateful behavior.
