The Black community may be turning its back on Kanye West but the anchors at Fox & Friends can’t stop singing his praises.
Wednesday morning, the co-hosts played a clip of the rapper’s controversial remarks during his appearance on TMZ followed by his enthusiastic endorsement for the current president.
“I just love Trump, that’s my boy!” West said on live television without a shred of shame.

And it is undoubtedly that love of Trump that caused the co-hosts to defend the rapper’s antics, even his remarks that slavery in America was a “choice.”
“He came out and says slavery was a choice and then he went ahead and clarified on Twitter because it caused outrage — obviously — with that statement,” said co-host Brian Kilmeade.
“He said to think about 400 years ago and be in that mindset today is a choice. Get out of that mindset and think about now,” continued Kilmeade.

“Lives in Hollywood. Getting a lot of backlash from the Hollywood folks out there,” pointed out fellow co-host Ainsley Earhardt. “Many people out there. Liberal. They don’t like him. So for him to speak up, good for him. He’s tripling down,”
“He also — Kanye did — said that Donald Trump is one of rap people’s favorite guys,” added Steve Doocy.
While other reporters like CNN’s Don Lemon chastised West for “embarrassing” himself and not knowing his history, at FOX there tone was noticeably more supportive.
