Kanye West’s MAGA hat-wearing heel turn reached even stranger heights this weekend, as he used the buzz around his lackluster SNL performance to make the case for supporting President Trump by … suggesting we get rid of the 13th Amendment?
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 pic.twitter.com/a15WqI8zgu

With these latest antics, plenty of long-time Kanye fans have had it with his long-exhausting, now-completely unbearable behavior, and it looks like Chris Evans and Lana Del Rey aren’t holding back anymore, either.
Captain America star Evans took to Twitter on Sunday, blasting Kanye’s uninformed, ahistorical support of Trump, much of which has made fans draw parallels between Kanye’s behavior and that of the president himself.
There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue. The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying. https://t.co/4jCFwB4T5U

Some artists close to Kanye also made their best efforts to reach out to him about his support of Trump, although at this point, it looks like he’s in too deep to change his mind on such matters.
