Rapper Kanye West rang in 2019 on Monday by writing pro-Trump sentiments on Twitter which resulted in him being on the receiving end of vicious attacks, many of which used racial slurs.
“Trump all day,” West tweeted, adding: “Just so in 2019 you know where I stand.”

“One of my favorite of many things about what the Trump hat represents to me is that people can’t tell me what to do because I’m black,” West later tweeted.

Last time West publicly came out in support of the president he was viciously attacked by CNN. The far-left network suggested that he was mentally ill, used racial slurs to attack him, used his wife’s former lovers to attack him and used his deceased mother to attack him. The Daily Wire reported:
The attack started on Tuesday when CNN host Don Lemon led a panel that mocked West — while Lemon laughed.
“Kanye West is what happens when Negroes don’t read,” CNN’s Bakari Sellers said.
CNN’s Tara Setmayer declared West to be “the token Negro of the Trump administration,” adding that “no one should be taking Kanye West seriously” because “he clearly has issues, he’s already been hospitalized.”

Lemon went even lower the next day, calling West’s White House appearance a “Minstrel show,” and then used West’s deceased mother to attack him, saying he was an embarrassment to the black community and that his “mother is rolling over in her grave.”
“What I saw was a Minstrel show today.”@DonLemon reacts to Kanye West’s bizarre Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump.

CNN political analyst April Ryan attacked West using the man who made a sex tape with West’s wife, rapper Ray J.
“I talked to someone who is very familiar with the Kardashians, or used to be, text messaging with Ray J. You know who Ray J is, he was once close with Kim Kardashian,” Ryan said, adding that he was “a little concerned.”
