The Twitter account for the House Judiciary Republicans (which is controlled by Ohio Republican Jim Jordan), sent out a bizarre tweet Thursday evening that has set off a wave of online mockery.
Here’s the tweet:
Rapper Kanye West, Tesla founder Elon Musk, and Donald Trump. What do these three have in common? Well, they’re all insufferable assholes. They also lie more often than they tell the truth. Oh, and they’re all big fans of the failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president.
Carlson has been in the news this week for his meeting with West, which CNN notes turned out to be surreal at times.
Kanye West has explained his thinking behind his decision to dress himself and several Black models in “White Lives Matter” shirts earlier this week.
West, who legally changed his name to “Ye,” told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he wore it because “it’s the obvious thing.”
“The answer to why I wrote ‘White Lives Matter’ on a shirt is because they do,” West said during the interview that aired Thursday.
Reaction to Jordan’s tweet wasn’t what he had expected.
