Ever since rapper Kanye West praised a conservative black woman and reaffirmed his support for Donald Trump to his nearly 28 million Twitter followers, the knives have been out for the beleaguered impresario – as his mostly liberal, mostly millennial base struggles to reconcile one of their favorite safe space poets supporting a president they’ve been programmed to hate. His subreddit, for example, is a trainwreck of fans not knowing which emotion to register.

Less than a week after West’s nearly year-long break from Twitter, the controversial hip-hop star who endorsed Donald Trump in the 2016 election tweeted his support on Saturday for black pro-Trump conservative, Candace Owens.

I love the way Candace Owens thinks

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 21, 2018

Owens is the director of urban engagement for Turning Point USA, and feels that black Americans are “slaves on the Democratic Party plantation.”

Given that the media’s go-to when West goes off script is “he’s crazy,” that’s exactly where they went.

Look at all the lovely hit pieces by the media on @kanyewest. They always show their true colors when you turn against their bullshit. They’ve always played it this way, they destroy those who don’t stick to the script.#KanyeWest
