I’m not going to call Kanye West a Conservative at this point.
I don’t think HE’s calling himself a Conservative. (I think he’s going with “Independent Thinker”)
Regardless, I’ve been very clear about my feelings on all of this. If Kanye West can expose fans to brilliant Conservative minds like Scott Adams and Candace Owens… this is a WIN.
It’s all about exposure for me. I used to be a liberal myself. I might have been a Conservative A LOT sooner if REAL conservatives were talked about on college campuses and media. I might have been a Conservative A LOT sooner if Conservatives made an effort to reach out to me.
I don’t think they ever did. I was a MISSED OPPORTUNITY. I found Conservatism on my own. How many young people could be “brought to the right” with a little bit of exposure?
I had a VERY twisted concept about who and what Conservatives were… and that was by liberal design.
Unless we focus on EXPOSURE… we’re LETTING the liberals win over all future generations. At this point, that’s entirely the case.
I’m serious about that. We are FAILING when it comes to bringing in new people. It’s time we get out there and bring people IN… not shut people OUT. Think about it. Are YOU bringing people in? Are you shutting them out? Seriously… take a good hard look at yourself on this one. It’s time.
Anyway… No. Kanye is not a Conservative…. but he seems VERY interested in what Conservatives have to say.
He met up with Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk… two Conservatives I have A LOT of respect for… and I’d give ANYTHING to be a fly on that wall…
Kanye West has been spotted meeting with conservative commentators Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk in Los Angeles following the rapper’s praise for President Donald Trump.
The trio were pictured smiling together as they left their meeting in Calabasas on Sunday.
It comes a week after Kanye dished out praise for Owens – a controversial YouTuber who is an outspoken critic of Black Lives Matter – on Twitter, saying he liked the way she ‘thinks’.
I am DYING to know what they talked about.
Woah, looks like my pals @realcandaceO and @charlieKirk11 hanging with @kanyeWest yesterday. This should be interesting! 🤔 pic.twitter.com/a57WvclmCh

It happened! @kanyewest took a meeting with @RealCandaceO and @Charliekirk11. There’s a lot of opportunity to win over more Americans to ideas of freedom. Charlie and Candace are great ambassadors for conservatism! pic.twitter.com/AflPz7BZ7W

This could be big.
He could use their knowledge… they could use his platform.
This could turn into something.
Excuse me for being optimistic about this… but unless something gives SOON… Conservatives are SCREWED for future generations.
You may roll your eyes… but unless we start TRYING to win young people over, we’re going to die out. So what’s better? This? Even though you may not like it? Or should we just keep doing the same old things that have worked SOOO well this far, right? (Wrong.)
It all started with Kanye tweeting that he “loves” the way Candace thinks. (So do I! We have that in common!)
Owens, who works for the right-wing group Turning Point USA, quickly responded begging for a meeting with the 40-year-old rapper.
‘I’m freaking out. @kanyewest …. please take a meeting with me. I tell every single person that everything that I have been inspired to do, was written in your music. I am my own biggest fan, because you made it okay. I need you to help wake up the black community.’
Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a photo on Monday of Kanye meeting with the conservative commentators, saying: ‘Woah, looks like my pals @realcandaceO and @charlieKirk11 hanging with @kanyeWest yesterday. This should be interesting!’
Kirk, who is the founder of Turning Point USA and is a gun rights advocate, then re-tweeted the image with the caption: ‘Free thinkers only’.
I don’t know that Kanye totally knows what he’s doing with this yet.
But you know what? I’m excited to find out.
