Things are getting even messier for the Democratic Party…
Kanye West loves controversy, and yet another one has been made.
The singer known to don a “Make America Great Again” hat says most blacks in America have been “brainwashed” into joining the Democratic Party, even though the party is at odds with their values.

“We’re brainwashed out here, bro. Come on, man. This is a free man talking,” the 42-year-old singer said in an interview with radio host Big Boy on Friday.
“Democrats had us voting for Democrats with food stamps for years. What are you talking about guns in the 80s, taking the fathers out the home, Plan B, lowering our votes, making us abort children,” he said.
West said people in “blue” states, which vote Democratic, are controlled by the party. “You are quite easily controlled if they know everybody gonna’ be blue. If you go to a white bar, you gonna’ hear people talking independent, you gonna’ hear people talking Democrat, you gonna hear people talking Republican.”
The black vote was taken for granted by the Democratic Party. 88 percent of blacks voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, while only 8 percent voted for President Trump.
Last year, West visited Trump at the White House, causing more controversy In the Friday interview, he was asked whether he knowingly endorsed discrimination. “The most racist thing a person can tell me is that I’m supposed to choose something based on my race,” he said, according to The Daily Mail.
Then West, as he does, got a bit weird: “I’m not telling nobody to not vote Democrat, I love Obama, I love lemonade, I love Wingstop, I love polos, I love Jordans.”
The born-again Christian also said he doesn’t fear being “canceled.”
“I’m only afraid of my daddy, God. I done been 15 years. I’m telling you that God is showing you that you can have your own thoughts, bro. I been canceled before there was cancel culture,” he said.
West created more controversy with his new album, “Jesus Is King,” which dropped on Friday.
On the album is a song titled, “Closed on Sundays.” It’s an ode to Chick-fil-A’s famous policy of being closed on the weekend day, the Sabbath, the day of the Lord.
“Closed on Sunday, you’re my Chick-fil-A,” West sings in the song. “Hold the selfies, put the ’Gram away, Get your family, y’all hold hands and pray.”
Chick-fil-A loved the song. “We are always grateful to see excitement for the brand,” a Chick-fil-A Inc. spokesman told Fox News.

On the fast-food restaurant’s website, they explain the closed-Sunday policy. “At the end of a busy week, hours after the sun sets on Saturday evening, we turn out the lights and close our doors,” they say in a video. “For one day, our restaurants are still. Closing on Sunday is a practice established by our Founder Truett Cathy that we still hold true to today.”
“[W]e hope you can be with your family and friends. That’s the thought behind each Sunday story — delivering recipes, activities and inspiration that might bring you a little closer together.”
