Swae Lee on Kamala Harris

Rapper Swae Lee faced backlash for urging his followers on social media to not vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 election, claiming her administration has failed to support Black Americans and criticizing the aid sent to Ukraine. He expressed that the money allocated to foreign aid could have been better used to benefit American citizens. Lee shared a video from a past debate in which Tulsi Gabbard criticized Harris's prosecutorial record, further fueling his argument against her candidacy. His comments have sparked mixed reactions, with supporters praising his stance, while critics label him as misinformed and irresponsible. Amidst this controversy, Harris continues to receive significant support from prominent figures in the Democratic Party. The discourse reflects broader tensions within the Black community regarding political support for candidates based on race versus their policies.
