Kourtney poses in 'Vote Kanye' hat, Internet says voting for him is like 'voting Kardashians to run US’

Earlier this week, Kourtney retweeted Kanye’s Presidential campaign video, in which he described ‘reviving America through faith’

Positive consciousness among people about voting for the presidential election has stirred up casting of ballots early this year. Just as most celebrities are promoting the importance of voting and supporting their preferred presidential candidate, the eldest Kardashian sister, Kourtney, seems to favor an unlikely candidate. Let's just say when it comes to controversies a Kardashian doesn't need to look further than their own family. Kourtney Kardashian showed her support for brother-in-law Kanye West’s presidential aspirations on Thursday. 

The reality star, 41, proudly wore a black hat from West’s presidential merchandise and shared a mirror selfie wearing it tagging Kanye West. She had her eyes closed and up lips puckered as she struck a pose with the black ‘Vote Kanye’ hat atop her head. Kanye's name is on the ballot in 11 states, though interestingly he does appear on the California ballot as a vice-presidential candidate for Roque 'Rocky' De La Fuente Guerra.

Earlier this week, Kourtney retweeted Kanye’s Presidential campaign video, in which he described ‘reviving America through faith’. However, there is no mention of either his wife, Kim, or the Kar-Jenner family. 

The post, however, generated a lot of backlash and negative comments on social media. One user wrote, “Wow! Kourtney,I thought that U were the only Kardashian that may have a little bit of intelligence. I was wrong! It's all about the $ 4 U 2.A vote 4 Kanye is a vote 4 Trump.U only care about the tax breaks & stimulus checks.U r a multi millionaire w/out a conscience. Sad 4 your kids.” Another user attacked clothing retailer GAP for partnering with Kanye for his presidential merchandise. “As I have said before @Gap you better drop your Kanye project!#BoycottKanye ASAP! He’s a TRUMPTARD and so are the rest of his family members!” the user wrote.

“Trump's campaign is doing all of the work to get Kanye West on ballots. Kanye is not running an legitimate campaign for the Presidency. Trump is using him to split the anti Trump vote,” tweeted one user. “A vote for Kanye would literally be voting for the Kardashians to run the country... pls don’t let them make some dumb s**t like “Kim & Kourtney Take on Democracy” wrote another user.
