”This helps take away votes from Joe Biden,” the activist told one person at the rally, according to a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by a Washington Post reporter. “We’re helping the Trump team who’s trying to get him on there,” added a woman by his side.

          If West refuses to remove the Republican operatives from his campaign, he’s actively working with them.

          There is not a lot of daylight between that and saying he’s an operative himself.

          Is he benefiting? Yes.
          Is he aware of who is benefiting him? Yes.
          Is he doing anything about it? No.

          Substitute Trump and Russia.

          Comment stands.

              It is not “objectively false” if West continues directly working with Republican operatives.

              If you want to support West, that’s fine, but you need to recognize the reality of the situation.

                it is false now, and I don’t believe it’s honest to say he’s working with them now.
