Kim Kardashian Says She Had to Educate Kanye on Politics After He Supported Trump

Kim Kardashian says she had to educate Kanye West on politics after his visit to the White House last month. As you know, the rapper distanced himself from his MAGA-loving ways on October 30 following months of slinging support for President Donald Trump and controversial figures like Candace Owens, tweeting: "My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. "I feel like he's very misunderstood and the worst communicator. But, when we talk about it, we have very similar politics," the reality star explained. "He's very not political, actually, he just happens to like Donald Trump's personality, but doesn’t know about the politics. I think it gets really misconstrued. I could also co-exist with someone and still have different political views. He never said that he supports that. But he's just fighting for free thought and freedom to like a person even if it's not the popular decision." Kardashian, meanwhile, has been working closely with Trump on prison reform.

Kim Kardashian: Kanye West doesn’t know a lot about Trump’s politics

Kim Kardashian West said her husband, Kanye West, is the “worst communicator” and often gets his message “misconstrued” in an attempt to defend his support of Donald Trump. Ms Kardashian West was speaking at Variety and Rolling Stone’s criminal justice reform summit when moderate Van Jones asked the reality television star about the Chicago rapper’s politics. “He’s very not political, actually, he just happens to like Donald Trump’s personality, but doesn’t know about the politics,” she said, after explaining that Mr West shares similar politics when discussing it with her. “He never said, ‘OK, I know what’s going on with immigration, and I know this and I know that.’ If he really knew, he would feel very compassionate about it.

World news in pictures As of recently, Mr West said he is taking a break from politics and felt "used to spread messages" he does not believe in after black conservative personality Candace Owens allegedly used the Chicago native's name in a "Blexit," a portmanteau for "black" and "exit," apparel line. The beauty mogul said that Mr West is fixated on fighting for “free thought.” “I know it’s very confusing, because when you see someone wearing a red hat you would think that they are supporting that. But he’s just fighting for free thought and freedom to like a person, even if it’s not the popular decision.” Ms Kardashian West has gotten political in the last year. She has been working to make strides in criminal justice reform, providing legal teams to prisoners and appearing in several podcasts and television programs to bring awareness. On June 6, Mr Trump granted her clemency and she was released.
