Kanye West has always had a testy relationship with politics and politeness.
West escalated his controversial views by saying that he personally supported Donald Trump.
To boos from the startled crowd, West said, “I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I would’ve voted, I would’ve voted on Trump.”
Do West’s fans care what he actually believes? They might now.
West has given notable sums to Democratic institutions over the years, including $2,700 to Hillary for America last year and $15,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 2014.
West’s Trump comments elicited wild boos at the San Jose show, but they also had some undertones that, at best, were extremely confused about what a Trump vote actually entailed.
