Kanye Tweets About Democrats Being the Party of Slavery and the Left Explodes

The highly-entertaining triggering of the Left by Kanye West continued on Monday afternoon when the rapper tweeted a conversation he had with a man named Steve via text message that stated a horribly inconvenient truth about Democrats: they were the party of slavery.

“Abe Lincoln freed and protected the slaves and he was republican,” reads the message. “Republicans were the ones who’s helped black people … democrats protected the rights of the slave owners in the South.”

This, of course, is factually accurate and never ceases to trigger the Left fulminating with revisionist history and outrage. Monday was no exception. Here are some of the angry reactions of Hollywood elites and other leftists:
