And speaking of photo-ops that’ll age terribly, she delivered her speech accompanied by Donald Trump and his latest toupee.
E! News unfortunately transcribed the event:
“After speaking to Ivanka [Trump] and Jared [Kushner], who really fought for me to get here, I plead the case of Alice Johnson, who the president granted clemency to, and after that I really spent so much time going to different prisons, because I really had no connection to anybody on the inside, and really, it just felt like for me, I’m at the place in my life where I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to do the right thing. But I didn’t know how or what to do.
What’s genuinely so troubling is that Kim Kardashian has become the public face of “prison reform” based purely on following the rules of a system that black and brown activists have worked decades to dismantle.
“I’m so happy to announce today that we have a ride share partnership, where formally incarcerated people will be gifted gift cards so they can get rides to and from job interviews, jobs, family members. That is so important, so needed.”This is what happens when celebrities like Kim Kardashian, whose brands are rooted in wealth accumulation and commerce, enter politics.
