Kanye West's 13th Amendment Tweet Baffles Twitterverse

HOLLYWOOD, CA -- Kanye West is at it again. Known for stirring controversy and his die-hard support of President Donald Trump, the Hollywood Hills resident sent a tweet Sunday stating his opposition to the 13th Amendment.

Wait, what?

That's right. West said the 13th Amendment, which eliminated slavery when it was ratified in 1865, should be abolished.

In a tweet, West posted a photo of him wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat with the statement, "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"

West later added "the 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended (sic) We are the solution that heals."

The tweets prompted plenty of responses from Twitter users, including from celebrities.

Comedian Christopher Titus wrote, "Ye, you are a Ignorant Genius. This is the downside of "College Dropout" That hat represents racism and division."

Actor Chris Evans wrote, "There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue."
