Liberals are in PANIC MODE when it comes to Kanye West.
Some have resorted to painting him as a madman… others are playing the “Hey.. buddy. You don’t have to do this.” card.
One of those talker-downers is John Legend.
First off, UGH. This guy is a lib-hack of the highest order, so OF COURSE he’s gonna do this. OF COURSE.
But most importantly, he just furthers the nonsensical “TRUMP IS AN OBVIOUS RACIST OMG” narrative… and Kanye isn’t buying it.
Nope. He’s done with that crap… and it’s AWESOME.
Kanye West let John Legend know he means business when he supports President Donald Trump.
The controversial rapper tweeted a screenshot on Thursday of a private conversation he had with the singer, blasting his longtime friend for using “a tactic based on fear” to criticize West’s praise of Trump.
Legend, an outspoken liberal, apparently texted West to express concern over his recent pro-Trump rhetoric. “I hope you’ll reconsider aligning yourself with Trump,” Legend said.
“You’re way too influential to endorse who he is and what he stands for. As you know, what you say really means something to your fans,” Legend continued. “They respect your opinion. So many people who love you feel so betrayed right now because they know the harm that Trump’s policies cause, especially to people of color. Don’t let this be part of your legacy.”
WHAT HARM DO TRUMP’S POLICIES CAUSE TO PEOPLE OF COLOR?!
Black unemployment is lower than it has been for DECADES. “People of Color” are THRIVING.
If they feel “betrayed” right now… it’s because they’re buying into a liberal narrative that is entirely BULLCRAP.
Kanye DOES have influence. People DO respect his opinion… which is why it’s SO HUGE that he’s doing his best to CRUSH the liberal narrative and expose his fans to REALITY.

West, who has been on a Twitter rampage this week, responded and then took a screen grab of the conversation and shared it with his 27.9 million Twitter followers.
“I love you John and I appreciate your thoughts. You bringing up my fans or my legacy is a tactic based on fear used to manipulate my free thought,” West responded.
YES! EXACTLY!
That’s the Democrat’s MO right there!
Legend replied, telling West that his “words and actions have consequences” before joking, “Since you’re posting texts, let me add that I have a new single out.”
Yup. Words and actions DO have consequences…
I think the Dems are REALLY worried about that right now.
And the single thing… I’ll hand it to him. That was kinda funny.
All appears to be well between the longtime friends and collaborators despite the political differences. West ended the conversation by telling Legend that he loves him and eventually tweeted a plug for his new single.
“I really appreciate this dialogue with John Legend because I’m actually very empathetic. Im still the kid from the telethon. I feel when people think of MAGA they don’t think of empathy,” West tweeted shortly after he shared the conversation with Legend. “This is year one. We can’t ad empathy to MAGA by hating. We can only ad empathy with love and time and truly hearing all sides.”
The rapper said he shared the conversation to “show that there are people around me that disagree with me and voice their opinion,” adding, “I stand my ground.”
No, he won’t back down. Hey, baby, there ain’t no easy way out…
Sorry. Anyway…
Legend first reacted to West’s tweetstorm on Wednesday.
“I love that great, brilliant artists have the power to imagine a better future. But artists can’t be blind to the truth,” Legend tweeted. “The defining trait of Trump’s campaign and political profile was his embrace of white supremacy. He made it clear every time he spoke. Some serious cognitive dissonance to ignore that for the other x% you might find appealing. I guess I agree with >1% of anyone’s thoughts though.”
“The defining trait of Trump’s campaign and political profile was his embrace of white supremacy. ”
OMG OMG OMG. HOW?!
Whatever dude. He won’t back down.
SIDE NOTE: their wives had the following conversation…

Not a fan of either but I’ll give it to them… that was funny.
The Kanye on fire pic?
That’s from his “Stronger” video. As the reformed liberal I am, I obviously have the scoop on Kanye…
Funny how we moved over to the “dark side” together, eh?
