Following leftist media questioning the mental health of Kanye West over his support for President Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian took to Twitter to defend her husband and slam those who seek to smear people with different opinions.
Media outlets, including People have been questioning West’s mental health as part of a sustained attack on the rapper following his recent tweets supporting conservative pundit Candace Owens and Trump supporting author Scott Adams — and Kardashian is not having any of it.
“To the media trying to demonize my husband let me just say this… your commentary on Kanye being erratic & his tweets being disturbing is actually scary. So quick to label him as having mental health issues for just being himself when he has always been expressive is not fair,” Kardashian tweeted.

Yesterday it was announced that Kanye had parted ways with some business people and media outlets made this about Kanye’s mental health. Rather than just a simple business decision. So I’m glad he tweeted about the state of his company and all of the exciting things happening

The reality star and massively successful businesswoman added, “he’s a free thinker, is that not allowed in America? Because some of his ideas differ from yours you have to throw in the mental health card? That’s just not fair. He’s actually out of the sunken place when he’s being himself which is very expressive.”

Now when he spoke out about Trump… Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions,even if really different from mine
He never said he agrees with his politics— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
“Now when he spoke out about Trump… Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions,even if really different from mine. He never said he agrees with his politics,” Kardashian wrote.
Kardashian followed up by saying that her husband is “years ahead of his time.”
“Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time.”

Mental Health is no joke and the media needs to stop spitting that out so casually. Bottom line

Earlier in the day, West sparked a firestorm online when he not only tweeted support for our president, but posted a photo of himself in a signed “Make America Great Again” hat alongside someone making the “okay” hand gesture.

The sign is popular among Trump supporters as the president frequently makes the gesture when he is making a point during speeches. The liberal media has been using it as a smear tactic to claim that it is a symbol for “white power,” which has been debunked by the Anti-Defamation League.
