Reality super star Kim Kardashian West praised Donald Trump after meeting with the president on Wednesday afternoon at the White House to discuss prison reform.
Accompanied by her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, Kardashian asked Trump to grant clemency for Alice Marie Johnson, a 63-year-old great-grandmother who has been imprisoned for over 21 years and is serving a life sentence in federal prison in Aliceville, Alabama for a drug-trafficking charge.
“I think that he really spent the time to listen to our case that we were making for Alice,” the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality star told Mic in after the meeting. “He really understood, and I am very hopeful that this will turn out really positively.”
“I went in, me and Shawn, to really talk to the president about Alice Johnson and really explain to him why she would be such a good person to grant clemency to,” Kardashian West said. “The president seems to have a passion for what everything that Jared has been trying to do, and that just makes me happy that that conversation is just moving forward.”

By meeting with a man like that you are only normalizing him. Disturbong how someone with your resources is so uninformed and reckless.

Liberal media outlets are slamming Kardashian for daring to meet with “racist” Trump.
Headlines blared warnings such as The Independent’s “Kim Kardashian chatting politics at the White House makes a mockery of America’s democracy.”
The Daily Beast chimed in, “How Kim Kardashian Got Played By Trump—Just Like Kanye.
So everybody is pissed at Kim Kardashian now for having the nerve to actually have a conversation with Trump instead of just mindlessly bashing him and accomplishing nothing. Y’all already know how I feel about that. pic.twitter.com/BgkktcrPSq

Democrats and the media viciously attacked Kardashian West’s husband, Kanye West, last month after he declared his support for Trump, claiming the rapper is mentally ill. But black male support for the president stood at 11 percent, before Kanye West announced his support for Trump. After Kanye’s endorsement black male support for Trump shot up to 22 percent.
