Kanye West is trying to get on the ballot and Republicans are trying to help him. |
Kanye Omari West is running for president and he is qualified to be on the ballot in 10 states.
Republicans are trying to recruit West to become a spoiler. The entertainer admits he wants to damage Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden.
West suggested that he is "walking" for president.
Donald J. Trump has denied any involvement in the effort to get West on the ballot in battleground states -- amid the allegations that Republicans are aiding the effort to put the entertainer on the ballot.
"I like Kanye very much," Trump told reporters at the White House. "No, I have nothing to do with him getting on the ballot. We'll have to see what happens."

A series of Republican officials have been tied to West's effort.
A Republican lawyer named Lane Ruhland was filmed and identified dropping off West's Wisconsin petitions at the state capital in Madison. She is a former general counsel for the state Republican Party.

Wisconsin, a state that Trump carried by less than 40,000 votes is crucial to his reelection. The state is slowly trending towards Biden. Republicans believe West could siphon off Black votes from Biden.
The Republicans brushed off the notion.

A shadow group called Let The Voters Decide is also assisting West in getting on the ballot.
Forbes releases a bombshell story about how Republicans are desperate enough to put the troubled entertainer on the ballot.
West's intentions have come under increased scrutiny this week, following reports by CNN, New York, the New York Times and others, about efforts by GOP political operatives to get him onto several ballots, including states like Wisconsin that could be pivotal in deciding the next president. West has been a vocal Trump supporter, including visiting the president in the Oval Office. Texts from West to me earlier this summer repeatedly ended with the sign-off "Trump 2020," and a fist raised high. West's recent actions have also drawn public focus, given his bipolar disorder—and many, including his wife, Kim Kardashian-West, have expressed concern about his mental health.
West did not respond when asked whether he feels he's being used. When I pointed out to West that the slapdash operation to get him on the ballot, which includes one operative previously arrested for voter fraud and multiple West "electors" from the same address, didn't feel like a Kanye West production, West replied that it was a "God production."
West is a popular figure among conservatives and the alt-right after he publicly supported Candace Owens, alienating himself from the more progressive fanbase. He was once ridiculed and hated by Republicans after his infamous, "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" remarks.
West said that he wants to be like Trump with a bit of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The two politicians are highly toxic.
West went to the White House and met Trump. He praised Trump on his "genius" and said that he loved the "male energy" he gave.
Again, take every reelection attempt of Donald J. Trump seriously. With a global pandemic, an unemployment crisis, civil unrest, and politicians being relatively despised by everyone, Trump is willing to create distractions to take the ball of his incompetence.
We have over 200,000 Americans killed from the coronavirus. We have over 5.3 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country. We are leading in the number of confirmed cases.
So far we have seen numbers skyrocket into the 60,000 cases with 2,000 deaths a day. We have 43 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territory of Puerto Rico experiencing the highest counts of cases in real time.
Unemployment is at 10.1% that means over 35 million Americans are out of work.
The calls for police reform and an end to mainstream racism front in center, we cannot afford to allow Trump and those who follow him continue to run this country in the ground.
Kanye West is one of the world's richest rappers. He has a net estimate of $2.9 billion.
