Kanye West came in for swift and massive criticism after tweeting out his desire to see the repeal of the 13th amendment, which outlawed slavery in the United States after the Civil War. “Ye is truly an idiot,” wrote journalist Soledad O’Brien.
The backlash was over West’s Sunday post of him in a Maga hat with a caption that read: “This represents good and America becoming whole again. We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs. We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love.”
It’s unclear exactly what West meant in calling for the abolition of the 13th amendment. A rep for the singer did not immediately respond to request for comment from TheWrap.
