So, does this mean the GOP’s Great Kanye Experiment is over?
I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.

My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!

Given the dearth of outspoken right-leaning celebrities, it’s understandable why so many conservatives hoped that Kanye had joined their team. But something like this was bound to happen. That’s generally how this stuff works.
“live by the Kanye, die by the Kanye.”

Let this serve as a cautionary tale about putting all your political eggs in any celebrity’s basket.
"Kanye was always the worst!" – people who said Kanye was the worst until he put on a MAGA hat, and then said he was the best up until half an hour ago.
Reverse the formula for the opposite partisan team & it works equally well. https://t.co/5zZkpTWGrd
