Chance the Rapper is catching major blowback for defending Kanye's 2020 'campaign'

Chance the Rapper publicly and repeatedly tweeted his support for Kanye West's presidential bid on Monday. Lots of folks weren't happy.

It began with Chance commenting on a new video from his pal Kanye.

"And yall out here tryna convince me to vote for Biden. Smfh," Chance wrote.

Being charitable, West's apparent presidential ambitions don't seem well thought out — he hasn't appeared to file any paperwork to actually run.

West, a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump, gave a meandering interview to Forbes last week during which he announced his presidential intentions. In that interview West also expressed skepticism about an eventual COVID-19 vaccine (saying vaccines were the "mark of the beast), came out against abortion, and claimed that "Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work."

He also said the presumptive Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, wasn't "special" and he was fine potentially pulling votes from a Democrat.

Taking all those stances into account, folks weren't pleased with Chance coming out as a staunch supporter fo his friend's presidential ambitions. He tweeted frequently over the course of a few hours about West's 2020 bid and also posing hypothetical questions about politics.

People were quick to point out to Chance that West's 2020 campaign might not be the best thing to support.

It's worth noting, as the Twitter user above did, that Biden's has released relatively detailed plans and policy ideas. Kanye mostly gave that interview to Forbes and decided he would create his own party called the Birthday Party. Why?

"Because when we win, it’s everybody’s birthday," he said.

It's also worth noting that West has a slew of products coming out and, well, any publicity is good publicity. (Well... maybe.) He's got a new album in the works called God's Countryand on Monday released a new shoe that looks like a fancy Croc.
