Members of the media blasted music and design icon Kanye West’s 10-minute White House soliloquy on Thursday in which he praised President Donald Trump, criticized liberals for using racism as a tool to control African-Americans, and advocated for the right to bear arms.
Liberal talking heads, comedians, and left-wing activists lambasted West across social media.
There’s a lot here that’s actually pretty revealing about the gender politics of Trump! https://t.co/R4U4sB3PIq

As I keep saying, shamelessness is a superpower and Ye has even greater reserves of it than Trump.

Kanye’s rambling is pretty much a 1:1 recitation of YouTube conservatism and righty vloggers, which are extremely paid for and the next frontier of the Breitbart/InfoWars right.

Nikki Haley and Raj Shah are the Kanye West of South Asians.

Kanye West, a Trump Republican: “And I’ll never let my son have an ego/ He’ll be nice to everyone wherever we go/ I mean I might even make him be Republican/ So everybody know he love white people.”

Kanye West is an enemy.

Kanye West will do so much generational damage if he keeps this up.

Kanye West is rambling and cursing about the Unabomber, sleep deprivation and the four gentlemen who wrote the 13th Amendment while sitting in the Oval Office with Donald Trump. America is so screwed. pic.twitter.com/xfEs16nBwJ

I generally subscribe to the “if the president says/does something it is important and newsworthy” school of thought. But I feel like we could maybe make an exception here and just ignore the whole Kanye thing entirely.

Kanye just said “motherf***er” in the Oval Office. Per WH pool.

Love yourself enough to not even pay attention to whatever the fuck Kanye West is doing or saying.

Kanye West meeting Donald Trump is a meeting of the — what could be loosely described as — “minds”

Kanye West is a genuine moron. Even stupider than trump. He hasn’t the slightest idea what he’s talking about and we should all ignore him.

So ‘shut up and sing’ does not apply to Kanye West, right?

If you have any respect for Kanye West after that display in the White House, you can go ahead and unfollow me right now. We have nothing more to discuss.

stop fucking reporting on kanye west

Just so you know, at some point Kanye West is going to advocate for the institution of The Hunger Games and GOP, you own this.

Kanye West is ranting in the Oval Office… let that sink in.
— Nick Guillory (@nickguillory) October 11, 2018
Kanye is in the White House as a PR stunt but he’s the one who’s being used. Trump’s getting faux legitimacy (he gets to tell white people, “How could anyone call me racist when Kanye West loves me?”) What does Kanye get to say? “I’m big enough to get a pointless visit w Trump?”

Kanye West is a disgrace for meeting with him.
A total, unmitigated disgrace.
So is Jim Brown.
Honestly, jokes aside, that was infuriating, and sad.— mike freeman (@mikefreemanNFL) October 11, 2018
