Vendome owners fired three employees and banned the influencers permanently from the premises.<\/p>\n<p>The club issued statements claiming they don\u2019t condone antisemitism or hate speech. However, video evidence appears to show co-founder Jonathan Mansour standing directly next to the controversial group during the incident.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d## class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<d## class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Miami Beach club that played Hitler anthem has more explaining to do, mayor says | Jesse Weber Live\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/evK8Y7r5HuY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d##><br \/>\n<\/d##><\/figure>\n<p>The influencers specifically requested the song, according to multiple witness accounts and social media posts from the evening.

The state\u2019s 2024 antisemitism statute defines hate speech using International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Florida Statute 1.015 specifically identifies \u201cusing symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism\u201d as a form of discrimination. Recent Florida legislation elevated certain hate-motivated harassment from misdemeanors to third-degree felonies. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><d## class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<d## class=\"embed-twitter\" wp_automatic_readability=\"3.0227272727273\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" wp_automatic_readability=\"8.6363636363636\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Incredible: A Miami club called Vend\u00f4me hosted the station&#8217;s stars \u2013 Nick Fuentes, Sanico and Andrew Tate, among others, some of whom openly supported Nazis \u2013 and even made Kanye West&#8217;s song &#8220;H*il Hit*er&#8221; available at their request. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1vxuVFondr\">pic.twitter.com\/1vxuVFondr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Vegas \u2694\ufe0f (@vegasyx) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vegasyx\/status\/2013021333601345841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 18, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/d##><br \/>\n<\/d##><\/figure>\n<p>House Bill 269 makes it a felony for groups to harass or intimidate people based on religion or ethnicity.
