Kanye West delivered a rambling speech at his first campaign rally in South Carolina on Sunday night, which left many in the crowd groaning as the rapper made such false statements as “Harriet Tubman never actually freed the slaves, she just had them work for other white people.” On Twitter, someone wrote that they immediately left after West, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, made the deeply offensive statement.
Twitter user “Toe Knee” wrote: “Kanye said this and I left immediately. I went for a laugh and I got one. But when it got disrespectful for me it was over.” You can also hear the person recording the video and saying that they’re “leaving right now” right after West made the statement.
