Kanye West: 'Liberals bully people who are Trump supporters'

Kanye West is bemoaning the treatment of Trump supporters, arguing in a new interview that liberals "bully" those who support the president.

"Liberals bully people who are Trump supporters," the rapper said on David Letterman's Netflix show "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction," according to the Daily Beast.

West told Letterman that his own constant donning of a "Make America Great Again" hat is “not about politics” but is about ending the stigma around expressing support for President Trump.

The musician also said that Trump supporters are “treated like enemies of America because that’s what they felt,” according to the outlet.

Remember the comment "George Bush don't like black people"? What the hell happened Kanye?

Isn't he the guy who once said GW Bush "doesn't care about black people"? And now he's the fanboy of a guy who really, really doesn't care about black people. Go figure.

But, with Kanye, I don't think that is really the issue. I just think he really is an ignorant man.

...and it's not a bully move. It's a simple "read this shit for yourself Kanye", followed by self-absorbed nonsense from the Trump supporter.

That's the thing about Trump supporters. They can bray and kick, but, at the end of the day, they can't discern right from wrong. Because they're idiots (in almost ALL cases).

Whether sucking up to Fat Nixon or showing disrespect to his fellow musicians at awards shows. Can't stand the guy or his shitty "music."

I saw this bully online who was relentless in using facts and reality to bludgeon a poor, stupid, ignorant Trump supporter into a quivering mass of goo who only was able to pull himself together by watching Fox for a solid weekend. The bully was soooo proud of herself, bragging to her pals in third grade about how she whupped her uncle's behind.

Thank the good lord above that Kanye's on the case!

There is so much out there in the way of content, and so many people trying to gain the public's attention and adoration. I suppose in these tumultuous days of fickle fans, a crank has to find new and creative ways to remain relevant. Unfortunately for him, he just appears unglued and confused. Sort of like his bud, Dainty Digits Donald. Two peas in a pathetic pod.

They can't spout hate, racism, sexism, homophobia and misogyny and expect people not to fight back. It doesn't work that way. If you are a jerk, you're going to get called out for being a jerk, it's that simple.

When was the last time Kanye West got his name in the news because of his actual music and not because he's a goddamn moron? It has to have been over a decade ago now easily. Pathetic.

They physically and psychologically attack us for our beliefs. They call us libtards, feminazis, soy boys, white knights, racist slurs, anti American, saying we will burn in hell. People have died or have been seriously injured now just for opposing them. Why can't Kanye see the other side?
