rich rappersKanye, Li'l Wayne, Ice Cube to a certain extent (I'm really disappointed with him), and now game show host Steve Harvey and their dalliances and associations with republicans?
It was announced yesterday that Harvey will assist Pence on Jan. 6 when he presides over, which is normally a formality, the official counting and acceptance of the Electoral College presidential votes. trump, btw, is calling for the proud boys and all their right wing ilk to show up in DC to, I guess, riot in protest that trump actually won the election instead of being defeated in a landslide by 7 million votes?
I don't get it. You don't have to be a republican if you're rich, especaily when, if you are a sentient being and have any kind of awareness, you know how that party treats and legislates against POCs, African-Americans in particular.

(57,482 posts)I mean it's quite a negative thing to be associated with trump and Pence.
But still there are the rappers and those associations are real.

It becomes a Stockholm Syndrome thing.

(57,482 posts)he would appear with Pence. The video you posted is from four year ago during the Obama/trump transition.

(57,482 posts)That didn't look like him so I clicked on the middle of the video and saw the old tape from four years ago. Btw, I'm happy to see that Steve Harvey is on our side. I guess you didn't see the DU post yesterday which said he was going to assist Pence. Whoever posted that needs to take it down as it's misleading.
The rappers however are still a disappointment.
