    Basically shortly after Candace Owens -- or her supporters -- made the claim that Kanye designed the snazzy dope fresh Blexit apparel; Kanye went on a twitter rant that shocked the Blexit world.....from the article:

    "Pro-Trump activists are fuming after Kanye West’s announcement that he’s “distancing” himself from politics, with the blame falling on two right-wing personalities—Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens—who fellow conservatives say used West to push their personal brands at the expense of the conservative movement."

    Among Kanye's tweets was him trying to set the record straight in regards to Candace Owens, where he said: "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."

    He further went on to say about people like Candace: "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 !!! and he also sent tweets giving support to immigrants fleeing violence and war who are seeking asylum...

    The backlash against Candace and Kanye alike was swift -- brilliant conservative thinkers like Tomi Lahren tweeted: "Are you gonna turn on Kanye now? The ship was doomed to sink from the start but hunger for fame & money was placed over the movement. Funny how he was a “free thinker” before and now he’s a “traitor.” Sounds a lot like a tactic of the Left. You made your bed, now lie in it.

    Without Kanye West, some conservative activists fear that Turning Point, which has already been beset by controversies over some racist members and clashes with other campus conservative groups, will take a hit to its relevance. I believe as long as Kanye still remains loyal to Trump, he will be an asset and will usher in at least 60% of the black vote this midterms...

    That's why Dems are the Dems, they wanted Kanye to stay in line. He can do whatever he wants. Free country.

    Candace Owens was driven from a diner as she ate breakfast by white liberal white men who then went on to scream racial slurs at black and Hispanic police officers. Yet, no outrage from the far left who are supposed to believe in free speech and rights for every American.

    The far left and their followers took on the same stance as the KKK back in the 50's. It's not cool and it has to stop. She has every right to eat breakfast, undisturbed, in a cafe as much as anyone else. When will the far left renounce their actions and openly apologize for this?

    When will they stop harassing this woman?

    To be clear: ANTIFA, an all-white fascist organization, just grew violent and attacked an all-black and Hispanic police force. Because I, a BLACK woman, was eating breakfast. Is this the civil rights era all over again?

    He may well turn out to be one of the Right's biggest nightmares. Not only leaving, but peddling counter messages!

    Wow.

    If only conservatives could summon anything close to this outrage over the fact that right-wing extremists continue to commit the majority of domestic terrorism.

    But that may be expecting far too much.

    His message wasn't who to vote for, his message was for the minorities to open their minds and start thinking independenly instead of continuing to blindly and obediently serve on the democratic plantation.

    I doubt this is the kind of message that can be taken back from millions of minorities who heeded it.

    WTH is your problem? Are you a forum monitor or just another liberal trying to silence conservative speech?

    True but then that thought he probably got from Candace.

    Although I was happy he seemed to have the acumen to see through all the democrat brainwashing and come to the conservative side, i have to confess I couldn't understand why because everytime he opened his mouth, his words seemed to belie his meaning like he was just spewing something he'd heard and had no idea what it meant.

    This is because Kanye is not really conservative and not many people (black, white or purple) give much credence to his voting advice.

    Kanye's success was planting the seed in the minds of black voters that they could leave the Democrats' plantation and think for themselves.

    You can't unring that bell.

    Becoming wishy washy now will only hurt Kanye's own credibility, but the seed of independent black thinking will hopefully continue to grow.
