Former Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner slammed Debra Messing for suggesting a 2020 bid from Kanye West would “take” Black voters away from Joe Biden.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, West sent shockwaves throughout the political and entertainment landscapes after West indicated via tweet that he was entering the presidential race.
“We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future,” the rapper and fashion mogul wrote. “I am running for president of the United States! #2020VISION”
While it is uncertain if West will actually launch a 2020 campaign, Messing took the tweet very seriously and sounded the alarm on Sunday that his candidacy could hand the November election to President Trump, responding to another Twitter user who speculated that the rapper and the president concocted a plan “to strip whatever support they can away from Biden as a last ditch effort.”
“Absolutely,” Messing responded. “He’s playing Jill Stein. He’s trying to take you g black voters from Biden. It’s disgusting.”
