Kanye West Breaks Down, Makes Dubious Claim About Harriet Tubman at South Carolina Rally Variety Jem Aswad VarietyJuly 19, 2020 Click here to read the full article.
Kanye West broke down in tears, made an outrageous claim about abolitionist Harriet Tubman, had a heckler ejected and claimed his brain was too big for his skull on Sunday at the first campaign event for his bewildering presidential run.
“Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, she just had them work for other white people,” he said at one point in a rambling speech that bounded from one topic to another with little seeming structure. At another moment, he broke down when sharing that he and wife Kim Kardashian West had considered an abortion (they have four children), and then said his own father wanted to have him aborted. “There would have been no Kanye West… because my dad was too busy!,” West sobbed.
Apparently wearing a bulletproof vest, West sounded off on multiple other topics, ranging from social media to religion to his Adidas deal, during the rambling speech at the Exquis Event Center in Charleston, South Carolina. The reaction of the crowd — “registered guests only” — ranged from sympathy to disgust at various points: After West’s comments about Tubman, who is credited with freeing hundreds of slaves via the “Underground Railroad,” one crowd member groaned “Come on, man,” while a woman can be heard saying “Okay we’re leaving now.” West then segued immediately into saying that the National Basketball Association and Universal Music Group have no Black owners, although the latter is owned by Vivendi, a public French company.

I’d rather him be president than biden/whatever commie he picks.
There goes Kanye. It didn’t take him long to attack a gun toting Republican. By the way, Tubman was one.
I think we should all want him to have a successful campaign.
So is he still campaigning or has he dropped out?
Also they can have campaign rallies without criticism but everyone else...?
More accurate headline.
“Kanye West Admits He Contemplated Murder”
This is important, really? Those that need to create their own crowds for the sake of furthering their useless “celebrity” status deserve no attention.
The only thing missing in this melodrama is for Kayne’s lighting director to come out on stage carrying a huge, thick Mink and Ermine cape, lined with rhinestones, then drape that over Kayne’s trembling shoulders. Patting Kayne gently on the back to show support.
This type of spectacle is what soul singer James Brown used to do during some of his early stage acts.
Sometimes, he would have the orchestra leader bring him a crown and put it on his head.
Yes, my guess is he is bipolar.
Off the rails at least.
Left his meds at home?
Every crazy thing like this helps Trump.
I wouldn’t trust this report.
Media is not honest.
Harriet Tubman helped many slaves escape and reach freedom.
That’s not what he’s doing. The guy is bipolar and it seems like he is seriously bipolar. Somebody needs to talk him down from the podium
I have personal knowledge of what bipolar is like and this guy needs to be on better medication or taking the medication is given. I don’t think he is
This article is a disgusting hit piece. They are afraid.
Kanye West tore into Biden and the democrats during most of the talk but no mention of that in the media.
