Kanye West defends Trump supporters on Letterman show - Page Six

Kanye West defended Trump supporters to David Letterman and explained his reasoning for donning the “Make America Great Again” hat in a new interview with the talk show legend.

“Have you ever been beat up in your high school for wearing the wrong hat?” West said in the interview, previewed by the Daily Beast. “Liberals bully people who are Trump supporters!”

In the hour-long special for the second season of Letterman’s Netflix show, West talked about his battle with bipolar disorder, his new music and long-running feud with Drake.

Letterman, who has pledged in the past not to talk about Trump on his show, was sparring with West about the rapper’s anxiety as a man in the #MeToo movement, when West brought up his perplexing relationship with the president.

“This is like my thing with Trump—we don’t have to feel the same way, but we have the right to feel what we feel,” West said.

He then went on to explain that wearing the Trump campaign hat is “not about politics,” and he doesn’t even vote. Instead, he said he’s sticking up for Trump supporters heckled over their politics.
