Nothing triggers leftist anger quite like blacks thinking for themselves, and not like they do. So the left erupted with predictable fury toward both West and Owens.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kanye, whose ubiquitous wife Kim Kardashian was a prominent supporter of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, has drawn leftist fire before. First, he incurred online scorn from the left and right in 2015 for announcing his serious intention to run for President in 2020. Then shortly after the 2016 presidential election, he shared with a California audience that he didn\u2019t vote, but if he had, he \u201cwould\u2019ve voted for Trump,\u201d an admission that was unusual to say the least for a celebrity of his stature, black or white. It angered and bewildered fans so much that they actually expressed concern about Kanye\u2019s mental health.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In December of 2016, he met briefly with Trump, who referred to Kanye at the time as his \u201cfriend,\u201d to discuss \u201cmulticultural issues,\u201d primarily the topic of violence in Chicago where Kanye was raised.\u00a0This showed some surprising independence of mind and considerable courage on Kanye\u2019s part, considering that black-on-black violence in blighted urban centers controlled by Democrat politicians is a scourge the left is silent about.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Then this past Saturday morning, Kanye dropped a bombshell tweet, declaring, \u201cI love the way Candace Owens thinks.\u201d As of this writing it has been retweeted over 21,000 times and \u201cliked\u201d over 81,000 times. A few minutes later he followed up with another seemingly supportive message, \u201conly free thinkers,\u201d which holds similarly high numbers of retweets and \u201clikes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p><strong>View the complete article including video, images, links and comments at:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/269973\/kanye-west-%E2%80%93-revolutionary-making-mark-tapson\">https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/269973\/kanye-west-%E2%80%93-revolutionary-making-mark-tapson<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hell hath no fury like Progressives spurned by blacks.
