Daily Beast: New documents show Kanye Wests doomed White House campaignstyled as an independent third-party effortappears to have disguised potentially millions of dollars in services it received from a secretive network of Republican Party operatives, including advisers to the GOP elite and a managing partner at one of the top conservative political firms in the country.
Potentially even more alarming? The Kanye 2020 campaign committee did not even report paying some of these advisers, and used an odd abbreviation for anothermoves which campaign finance experts say appear designed to mask the association between known GOP operatives and the campaign, and could constitute a violation of federal laws.

(7,871 posts)...who proudly stated that s/he voted for Kanye West in 2020 because "their vote didn't matter." Real shameful shit.

Of course, if youre going to do that you might at least think about running a candidate who isnt (1) insane and (2) a Trump supporter. Black people knew what was going on and didnt fall for it.
