        It's really a damn shame. I guess Kanye and the man he supports has something in common.pic.twitter.com/oXoGkq2nue

        Kanye is embarrassing. For him to say he loves that disgusting, multiple affair having, racist president shows he's hit rock bottom with his values. I watched @oldmanebro vid clip exposing Ye.I really understand why Jay Z & Bey have distanced themselves from Kanye. He's sad...

        God forbid he does not stick in line with the general orthodoxy. What I find ironic is the hit pieces coming his way as soon as he says anything right of center. Interesting

        I’m not sure the concern is over his being right leaning, but more his support of Trump specifically.

        Ironically, the politics of a lot of his critics are not much more well informed. Most ppl (liberal and conservative) never read past headlines; basing their political ideology on a collection of memes from their chosen echo chamber. #ALittleKnowledgeIsADangerousThing

        Genius does not mean one necessarily reads books. The term can be applied to someone who has a superior creativity and ability to think in a particular field such as music. It’s also a word thrown around too loosely like in Kayne’s case
