Here's an FR thread discussing one reason;
Twitter was set ablaze after Kanye West posted a screenshot of a text exchange he had with a friend named Steve.
Abe Lincoln freed and protected the slaves and he was Republican, Steve said to Kanye in a text message.
Why are we excited to welcome Kanye West into our debate but push aside Alex Jones - who more closely resembles our anger and principles ?
Is it because our enemies make fun of him ? Since when do we care about what our enemies think ?
