A Make America Great Again hat-wearing Kanye West ended the 44th season premiere of Saturday Night Live with an impassioned political speech that saw the Grammy-winning fashion icon defend President Donald Trump.
“The blacks weren’t always Democrats. You know it’s like the plan they did, to take the fathers out the home and put them on welfare. Does anybody know about that? That’s a Democratic plan,” West said, flanked by SNL cast members and his collaborative musicians Kid Cudi and 070 Shake. “There’s so many times I talk to, like, a white person about this and they say, ‘How could you like Trump? He’s racist.’ Well, uh, if I was concerned about racism I would’ve moved out of America a long time ago.”
West continued to stress America’s need for a serious “dialogue, not a diatribe.” A portion of the speech was captured by comedian Chris Rock and went viral on social media.
At one point West said he was “bullied backstage” and was warned not to wear the hat with Trump’s campaign slogan on it. West then referred to his MAGA hat as his “Superman cape,” putting it on and telling that crowd “this mean, you can’t tell me what to do.”
“Thank y’all, for giving me this platform. I know some of y’all don’t agree but y’all be going at that man neck a lot, and I don’t think it’s actually that helpful,” West said of President Trump. “Ninety percent of news are liberal.”
“Ninety percent of TV … LA, New York, writers, rappers, musicians; so it’s easy to make it seem like it’s so, so, so, one-sided,” West continued as the music in the background hit a crescendo.

Watch — Kanye West Rips Democrat Welfare State in Pro-Trump Speech on ‘SNL’: ’90 Percent of News Are Liberal’
How many black people were in the SNL audience?
No, how many “identify” as black. And isn’t that what REALLY matters? LOL!
My point being it’s white liberals who get more angry at black people when they ‘go off the reservation’.
Good for Kanye and everyone got to witness how he was treated for speaking HIS and THE TRUTH!!!
I am not a fan of Kanye, but I admire what he’s doing.
The past decade provided that "faction" with a smug belief that American citizens/individuals would yield up their Creator-endowed rights, liberties and the laws so carefully crafted to defend them. Once aroused by a breath of freedom, "the People" are engaged and can no longer be enticed by "goodies and crumbs" to yield up their liberty!
The mere idea that “Ye” could influence enough Amish men to sit on their hands in the mid-terms and let the Democrats flounder...I swear to God I don’t know whether to laugh or spit.
Wonder who “redpilled” him?
Good for Mr. West, and not just because I agree with him. Considering the venue, his actions took courage, certainly moral courage, and given the audience and other cast and crew, some physical courage as well.
Has he been banned from twitter yet?
Good for him; he did a great thing. He has testicular fortitude - something seriously lacking in way, way too many men.
I am shocked. Not by shat nit lie
Cheer for it.
He’s kind of a nut, but I’m glad this is getting out there.
Thats why Democrats fear him.
If blacks start leaving the Rat plantation, the party is finished.
That must be prevented at all costs.
Bill Cosby saying, “I know that’s right!”
Brave man. So easy for Damon to preach to the choir
